What Is a Hallucinatory Disorder?

Hallucination refers to a false subjective sensory experience that occurs without corresponding external stimuli. In clinical practice, many patients exhibit hallucinatory symptoms. Pathological hallucinations mainly occur in two situations. The first is in patients with schizophrenia, where hallucinations most commonly manifest as verbal auditory hallucinations—often involving commentary or conversational content. These hallucinations frequently influence the patient's thinking, emotions, and behavior. The exact mechanism behind these hallucinations is not yet fully understood.

The second type occurs in patients suffering from severe physical illnesses or brain disorders, typically presenting as vivid, dramatic, and often frightening visual hallucinations. These hallucinations are usually associated with dysfunction of nerve cells in the brain. When the underlying physical or neurological condition improves, the hallucinations often resolve as well. Hallucinations should always be taken seriously, and prompt medical evaluation and treatment are essential.

During treatment for serious illnesses, it's important to build self-confidence, actively cooperate with medical treatment, tap into one's inner potential, maintain social interactions and physical activity, develop healthy habits, strengthen psychological resilience, and actively regulate emotions.
