Hallucinations, Delusions, Illusions, And Delirium: What’s The Difference Between them

Emotional Wellness /

Hallucination, delusion, illusion, and delirium are symptoms of psychosis, a mental disorder that disturbs the flow of brain processes and causes a person to believe in things that aren’t real. Hallucinations refer to sensing things that seem real but are not real. For instance, a person can have a delusion that their spouse is cheating, and despite the evidence, you cannot change what the person is thinking. Although rare, there have been instances of people experiencing delusions, irritability, and tactile illusion as extreme side effects of Lamotrigine treatment. It is good to talk about the symptoms to friends and family members. Arrange for an appointment with a therapist and psychiatrist if you feel the situation is out of your hands.
