PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Hallucinations are perceptions in the absence of an external stimulus and are accompanied by a compelling sense of their reality. They are a diagnostic feature of schizophrenia, occurring in an estimated 60%–70% of people with this disorder, with auditory hallucinations being the most common.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hallucinations are a perception not based on sensory input, whereas illusions are misinterpretations of sensory inputs. In other words, hallucinations involve experiencing something that doesn’t exist. Illusions happen when you misinterpret something real in your environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hallucinations are referred to as multimodal if multiple sensory modalities occur. A mild form of hallucination is known as a disturbance, and can occur in most of the senses above. These may be things like seeing movement in peripheral vision, or hearing faint noises or voices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hallucinations are sensory experiences that appear real but are created by one’s mind.

Detailed explanation-5: -Auditory hallucinations, or paracusias, are sensory perceptions of hearing in the absence of an external stimulus. Auditory hallucinations can refer to a plethora of sounds; however, when the hallucinations are voices, they are distinguished as auditory verbal hallucinations.
