Any Suggestion For Visual Hallucinations As Well As Auditory?
Hello, I have been having some very odd visual hallucinations as well as auditory. they sometimes occur together at the same time. One hallucination seams to confirm or deny another. which causes confusion ans disrupts social relationships/interactions. Also, sometimes they occur as tactile skin sensations that are very unpleasant and uncomfortable. Because I feel it but i can see that it isn t whats happening. Ive been told to only believe 1/2 of what you see and none of what you hear. I am just wondering what the scientific facts are. And whats really going on

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
This is called psychosis. It happens due to dopamine imbalace, in that case, you need antipsychotic that would able to balance the dopamine level. When dopamine level increases at meso-limbic system, it leads to positive psychotic symptoms in form of hallucination, which could be controlled by dopamine antagonist like antipsychotic. Better to consult a psychiatrist for further management.
