4. Hallucinations
Hallucinations are highly suggestive for psychosis and occur when a person’s mind creates sensory experiences that don’t coincide with reality. People often relate hallucinations to vision but they can affect all of the senses. Visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile hallucinations refer to hallucinations that affect a person’s sense of sight, hearing, smell and bodily sensations.
A person who experiences this symptom of psychosis may see things that don’t exist or hear voices in their head. This symptom usually goes hand in hand with sleeping disorders such as insomnia.
