Hallucination

Subject: Behavioral Science

Overview

When external sensory stimuli are absent, a person may experience hallucinations. In hallucination, actual items are absent, yet in an illusion, they are there. Certain psychotic diseases can be identified by these symptoms. There are many different kinds of hallucinations, including auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, lillipotian, mood-congruent, and synesthetic hallucinations.

Hallucination

False sensory experience in the absence of external sensory stimulation is what we call hallucination. The difference between an illusion and a hallucination is in whether or not actual items are there. When present, they point to the presence of psychotic conditions. As it turns out, hallucinations come in numerous varieties.

  1. Auditory hallucination
    • False perception of sound usually the voices bot also other noises like noise.
  2. Visual hallucination
    • False perception of sight.
  3. Olfactory hallucination
    • False perception of smell
  4. Gustatory hallucination
    • Unpleasant taste
  5. Lilliputian hallucination
    • False perception in which objects are seen as reduced in size.
  6. Mood-congruent hallucination
    • The depressed patient hears voices saying that a patient is a bad person. A manic patient hears voices saying that the patient is of power.
  7. Synesthesia
    • Sensation and hallucination caused by another sensation. For e.g. auditory accompanied by a visual sensation (9 sounds experiences being seen)
  8. Command hallucination
    • False perception of orders that persons may feel unable to resist.
