It's important to seek professional help to get a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Hallucinations are sensory experiences in the absence of external stimuli. When you see things that aren't there, it is known as visual hallucinations, and when you hear voices that no one else hears, it is known as auditory hallucinations.
If these voices are commanding you, telling you to do things, or causing distress, it could be indicative of a serious mental health condition. These symptoms are often associated with conditions like schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or other psychotic disorders. However, there could be other underlying medical or psychological factors contributing to these experiences, which is why a comprehensive evaluation by a professional is essential.
Please consider reaching out to a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, who can assess your symptoms, provide an accurate diagnosis, and recommend appropriate treatment options. Early intervention is crucial for managing these conditions effectively and improving overall well-being.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or in crisis, please don't hesitate to seek immediate help by reaching out to a crisis hotline or going to the nearest emergency room. Remember, there is support available, and you don't have to navigate this alone.
