‘Hallucinations’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Hallucinations are sensory experiences that appear real but are created by the mind, occurring without any external stimuli. They can affect any of the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Auditory hallucinations, such as hearing voices or sounds that aren't there, are the most common and are often associated with conditions like schizophrenia.

Visual hallucinations involve seeing things that are not present, such as people, shapes, or flashes of light. Olfactory hallucinations involve smelling odors that have no physical source, while gustatory hallucinations involve tasting something without actual food or drink present. Tactile hallucinations involve feeling sensations on the skin, such as crawling insects.

Hallucinations can be caused by various factors, including mental health disorders, neurological conditions, substance abuse, and sleep deprivation. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include antipsychotic medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes to reduce stress and improve overall mental health.
