Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern regarding hallucinations.

These are caused because of neurochemical imbalance mainly dopamine in brain.

So it can be treated by antipsychotics like Risperidone.

Consult your psychiatrist regarding this.

Thank you
