Suddenly a rickshaw wheel burst on the road - everyone started running - thinking the cocktail had burst. Or as he walked in the moonlight, he suddenly stopped and his chest began to tremble. A man in front of him was sitting in ambush with a black sheet wrapped around him to loot. He rubbed his eyes well and looked again - it was clear that it was actually a small bush. The sound of the wheel bursting into cocktails and the bushes into mischief, all these are illusions. Here the stimulus-sound or bush is mistakenly thought to be something else. But if that happens, you are standing alone in the middle of an open field, listening to two people talking about you. Or a man is shouting snake snake - everyone in the house came running and saw the faux pale clean floor - everyone started shouting at the man - where do you find snakes in the flat house in Dhaka city? The man, however, kept screaming at the snake, the fear of seeing the snake in his eyes. This is the hallucination of standing alone in the field and hearing sounds in the ears or seeing snakes on the clean floor. Here, without any kind of stimulus, the sound can be heard in the ears and snakes can be seen.
Eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin can cause hallucinations in all these five senses. Although hallucinations of the ears and skin (sound and touch) are more common in mental illness, hallucinations of any sense can occur.
Despite the origin of the hallucination sound, the person hears the sound in the ear. The type of hallucinations in the ear varies from disease to speech, such as when we hear an unseen sound in the ear. The answers to these questions vary from disease to disease. Patients with schizophrenia listen to two or three people in their ears, they speak on their own, give different orders to the patient, show fear, forbid various things. Patients with mania, on the other hand, usually listen to one or two people - sometimes talking to themselves, sometimes talking to the patient. In this disease, the patient's mind is very happy, the patient thinks of himself as something big. Usually, the words in the unseen voice also evoke the patient's sense of joy and self-esteem. On the other hand, when this patient is suffering from depression, the unseen voice of hope in his ears starts blaming him, referring to him as a change, sometimes inciting him to commit suicide.
The same word or sentence or specific memory- related phrases / words can often be heard over and over again in word hallucinations. Sometimes the whole thing related to memory is repeated as if the person is still in that event. In posttraumatic stress disorder, such as the recurrence of a mental illness in a person rescued from the rubble of Rana Plaza. Sometimes it is not a word or any other sound but a part of a song or instrumental music that may come to the ears repeatedly. In addition to the above diseases, hallucinations occur in epilepsy, brain tumors, migraines, Alzheimer's disease, Liu body dementia, Parkinson's disease. Drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, etc. can cause noise in absentia.
The same sound can be heard over and over again in hallucinations. Sometimes the whole of the same memory ( word- word) is repeated in such a way that the person is still in that event. Repetition of such vivid memories is found in posttraumatic stress disorder.
In addition to these mental illnesses, some people even hear the voice of the unseen in normal conditions. For example, a boy waiting for a friend can hear his friend whispering or knocking on the door. The child-bearing mother often hears the cry of her recently deceased child. People hear such voices out of intense longing. Within a few days, the sound stopped automatically.
When a person is between sleep and waking time when he goes to sleep and when he wakes up, he can hear sounds in his ears.
Skin hallucinations are usually caused by intoxication. For example, cocaine users often think that worms are walking under their skin. This is called formification. They scratch the skin to remove the worm. This is called Ekbom syndrome. There is another type of patient who is actually suffering from delusional disorder, they also feel the insects walking under their skin. Insects feel like they have pierced their skin and come out, and they also catch those imaginary insects and bring them to the chamber to be shown in the cage.
Patients with schizophrenia can sometimes experience tingling in the skin, especially in the genitals.
A special type of hallucination is called a phantom limb, or "ghost limb."
In hallucinations, the person sees something that is not actually in front of the eyes. They see any object, design, person or light flashing in the eye. Visual hallucinations are usually caused by organic problems in the brain. For example: having a brain tumor.
Some epilepsy patients see a flash of light in their eyes before they get fit. Many migraine headache patients see this light before the headache comes. Alcohol addicts develop visual hallucinations, such as withdrawal syndrome, when they abstain from alcohol. They are usually seen by small people.
Odor hallucinations are rare. In most cases, such hallucinations occur when the olfactory nerves are damaged. Odor hallucinations are most common in epilepsy. Epilepsy patients have a foul odor similar to the burning smell of rubber on the nose just before convulsions. Of course, some people also get perfume. Olfactory hallucinations can result from viral infections, brain tumors, brain injuries, or brain surgery. Some drugs or chemicals can cause olfactory hallucinations.
Extremely emotional healthy normal people can smell roses in the romantic scenes of the movie by seeing the protagonist wearing roses on the heroine's head. It's hallucinations.
In the case of some acute illnesses, some people report the smell of visible color.
The hallucination of taste is the feeling of taste even though there is nothing inside the tongue and mouth. Epilepsy usually occurs in the temporal region of the brain. There is a strange taste in the mouth just before the convulsions. Such feelings are rare in mental illness. However, 20% ofy schizophrenia patients have this feeling.
When to seek treatment? -
The first thing to remember is that hallucinations are not a disease, they are a symptom of a disease. The hallucinations that occur as a symptom of the disease are accompanied by other symptoms of the disease besides hallucinations. If the illness as a whole significantly disrupts the individual's family, social, personal and professional life, then the illness must be treated. If you treat the underlying disease, the hallucinations will go away on your own.
The cause of hallucinations
Although we say that hallucinations occur 'spontaneously' without the presence of external stimuli, this is not the case. While there are no external stimuli, there are changes inside the brain that give rise to hallucinations. These changes include an overdose of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. The nerve cells in the brain use many chemicals to exchange stimuli with each other. Dopamine is one of them. The amount of dopamine in the brain increases as a result of certain illnesses and drug use, resulting in hallucinations.
A part of the brain is called the thalamus. The sensations of the five senses pass through the thalamus to the signals of the senses other than the signals produced by the eye. The first stimulus to our senses occurs in the thalamus. The thalamus processes the received signals and sends them to the brain. The guru's brain harmonizes those signals with the stored previous experience, creating the full feeling and the emotion associated with it. Illness and drug use cause the thalamus to become overactive and to generate and transmit signals on its own. The result is hallucinations.
A special problem of the brain is found in the case of hallucinations of sound. Our left brain plays an active role in producing the 'thoughts' of words and expressing them in words. The right brain is inactive in this case. But in those who have hallucinations of sound, this specificity of work is not seen in the right and left brains. In these cases, both the right and left brain are equally active. One of the causes of hallucinations is the unwanted active sound in the right bra
