Description
Hallucination is a disease of the Mind.
Picture this. The patient is fully awake, he is not sleeping or dreaming. In this state he sees and or hears things which, in reality are not present. Others of sane mind around him cannot see them. This state of the Mind is Hallucinations. The patient sees apparitions, phantoms, ghosts. He may smell a rose when actually it is not there.
It is caused by Physical or Mental Disorders. More often than not, they are a result of drugs affecting the brain. Too much alcohol is one common cause.
