Hi,
Hallucinations can be caused by various conditions, including psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, as well as medical conditions such as brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, and certain types of dementia. Hallucination treatment depends on the underlying cause.
If a psychiatric disorder causes hallucinations, treatment may include medication, such as antipsychotics, psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or family therapy. If a medical condition causes hallucinations, treatment will typically focus on managing the underlying disease and may include medication, surgery, or other medical interventions.
If the hallucinations are caused by substance abuse, treatment will typically focus on addressing the addiction and may include counseling, medication, and behavioral therapies. The person needs to be evaluated by a qualified mental health professional or neurologist so that a proper diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment can be recommended.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
You want to know the status of mind of a woman who has been hearing voice of people that others can't hear. She talks to herself, etc. She is suffering from a mental illness called schizophrenia. However other medical conditions may also trigger such symptoms like brain tumor, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, sleeping disorder, drug use, etc.
You should keep an eye on the medicines she has been taking. Make sure that she has at least 8 hours of quality sleep at night. Get her clinically examined by a Psychiatrist and a counsellor. If she is seeing things that others can't see she is suffering from irritation in the visual cortex, the part of your brain that helps you see.
She will have to get electroencephalogram and MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging for a detailed study done so that treatment can be started at the earliest. Help her stay away from superstitious and unnatural believe system. Get her connected to a Physical therapist, she needs cognitive behavior and talk and therapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
