What are Hallucinations ?
Welcome to the hallucination help blog. Hallucinations are essentially a false perception of objects and or events that involve our main senses such as sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are experienced by people of all ages from toddlers to elderly and from all walks of life. There are a number of mental health conditions that are commonly associated with hallucinations including schizophrenia, Alzheimer disease and bipolar disorder.
However, mental states are not exclusively the cause of hallucinations as they may also be experienced by people with brain tumors, viral infections, diabetes or even something as common as a high fever, flu or common cold. Some hallucinations may take months to develop and be noticed while for others, such a elderly people, there maybe a sudden onset.
