More often in everyday life, it is customary to make fun of hallucinations, and this is because they are not characteristic of healthy people. A person, haunted by visions, or visual hallucinations, is not up to jokes, because they are obsessive and frightening. Since the origin of visions can be due to various reasons, some folk remedies cannot be dispensed with. Treatment should be professional and systematic.
Instructions
Step 1
See your doctor. Visual hallucinations are one of the most common forms of hallucinations and are one of the symptoms of mental disorders of various origins, organic brain damage or poisoning. In this regard, the consultation of a psychiatrist or neuropsychiatrist is simply necessary. Psychologists and psychotherapists will not help in this case, since the former are engaged in a healthy person, and the latter - in the correction of minor deviations, neuroses. In addition, hallucinations can be signs of chemical or drug poisoning, which means that medical attention is needed as soon as possible.
Step 2
Watch closely for the course of the hallucinations, the conditions of their occurrence and the accompanying symptoms. Some types of hallucinations resulting from mental disorders cannot be critically interpreted by a person, since he cannot distinguish them from reality. Hallucinations can be accompanied by intense emotions of fear, anger, anxiety. This means that a person himself cannot ask for help. His family should do it for him.
Step 3
Eliminate stressful factors from life, adjust the daily routine. It happens that visual hallucinations and hallucinations of other types can be caused by mental overstrain, intense intellectual stress, chronic lack of sleep, and a serious traumatic situation. Then, according to the neuropsychiatrist Yuri Barannikov, a longer sleep and elimination of the factor causing the overload can remove the symptom. But this is only if the hallucinations, visions are caused by a nervous breakdown.
Step 4
Use the prescribed drugs. The doctor may prescribe antipsychotics, tranquilizers, and antidepressants. In the case of a conniving attitude towards treatment, hallucinations can progress, a person can become dangerous both for himself and for others. A neglected, chronic hallucinosis is already difficult to treat.
