Quoted By:
Mental hallucinations are sensory experiences that occur without any external stimuli. They involve perceiving things that aren't present in the environment and can affect any of the five senses:
Auditory Hallucinations: Hearing voices or sounds that others do not hear.
Visual Hallucinations: Seeing objects, people, or lights that aren’t there.
Olfactory Hallucinations: Smelling odors that have no source.
Gustatory Hallucinations: Tasting flavors that aren't actually present.
Tactile Hallucinations: Feeling sensations on the skin, like bugs crawling, without physical cause.
These experiences are vivid and can feel very real to the person experiencing them, often leading to confusion or distress. Hallucinations are commonly associated with mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression, but can also result from neurological conditions, substance use, or extreme stress.
