Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand the distress you might be facing due to hearing and visualising things. You seem to be having visual and auditory hallucinations. It is difficult to determine the disorder with the limited information that you have given, but hallucinations are symptoms of psychotic disorders.

I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist regarding your symptoms. After detailed evaluation of your condition, treatment with medications which will mostly include anti-psychotics like olanzapine, risperidone, etc., will help you in controlling your symptoms.

It will also be important that you remain on regular treatment and follow up and also remain abstinent from any addictive substance (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc.).

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
