I have had almost zero hallucinations, but have a few when I was at my worst.
I hear a voice. It commands. Quite terrible things, really. Ill spare details so as not to scandalise.
Delusions; yeah Im told I have those too.
I put this in the wrong category, but oh well. NOt 100% sure I can edit without affecting the poll.
I’ve had auditory hallucinations voices since 2012. Which did not help because of the Mayan calendar
I rarely have visual hallucinations.
Maybe once a month.
Yeah, I dont have much of anything….no delusions, no hallucinations, as long as Im properly medicated.
That’s great. For how long have you been symptoms free?
About a year. Before that episode it had been many years. I do, very rarely get a bit of paranoia and questionable association when I’m really stressed, but no delusions or hallucinations.
Bingo!

All of the above
Just visuals and voices. Visuals are pretty rare though. Voices are all day every day.
Still very happy about having no delusions thanks to my meds though. That’s the real dangerous one.
I’ve had every single one 
Functional hallucinations are rare perceptual disturbances where an external stimulus in one sense (like a sound) triggers a hallucination in the same sense (like hearing a voice related to the sound), occurring simultaneously, unlike typical hallucinations that happen without triggers. For example, the sound of running water might trigger a hallucinated voice, but the voice stops when the water stops. They’re seen in conditions like schizophrenia but often overlooked, though medications like antipsychotics or mood stabilizers (e.g., sodium valproate) can help manage them, notes NIH’s PMC repository and this YouTube video.
Key Characteristics
Triggered by Stimulus: A real sensory input is required to initiate the experience.
Same Modality: The hallucination occurs in the same sensory system as the trigger (e.g., sound to sound, visual to visual).
Co-occurrence: The stimulus and the hallucination happen at the same time.
Example: Hearing music when a fan is running, or voices when water is running.
Clinical Significance & Treatment
Often Missed: They’re less emphasized diagnostically than other hallucinations, but can still indicate underlying issues like schizophrenia or even serotonin syndrome.
Treatment: Standard antipsychotics often help, but sometimes additional medications like sodium valproate are needed for improvement, say studies on PubMed and the NIH’s PMC repository.
Compared to Other Hallucinations
True Hallucinations: Occur without any external stimulus.
Reflex Hallucinations: A stimulus in one sense triggers a hallucination in a different sense (e.g., music causing visual hallucinations).
Truthfully my meds have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced and ELIMINATED alot of my symptoms
Same I only have negative symptoms left
And maybe it keeps making me feel like I’m hated by everyone
Meds help a lot!!
Never had tactile hallucinations before. I don’t think.
Visual hallucinations only off meds and rare.
But yes definitely to audio and delusions and paranoia
