Question 1

do people with schizophrenia have one visual hallucination that they usually see?

Accepted Answer

Not usually.: Hallucinations are auditory or visual with auditory more common. Auditory may be vague and benign or clear and foul and threatening, often demanding a person to say or do threatening or harmful things like hurt or kill others or even themselves. Visual hallucinations are more rare and can be repetitive. In my experience having only one visual hallucination is very unlikely.

Question 2

do you have a predominat visual hallucination you see?

Accepted Answer

Auditory: Schizophrenics usually suffer predominantly from auditory hallucinations. Not so much visual, gustatory, tactile, or olfactory. Occasionally, however, those who do have visual hallucinations will report seeing the same one repeatedly. However, this is not always the case.

Question 3

are there any cases of schizophrenia where the patient is having visual hallucinations of other people?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In schizophrenia hallucinations are more commonly auditory in nature ("hearing voices"). However, visual hallucinations consisting of seeing other people is not uncommon.

Question 4

is it possible for people with schizophrenia also have visual hallucinations?

Accepted Answer

Possible but unusual: Auditory hallucinations are more common in addition to ideas of reference, thought broadcasting, thought insertion and paranoia. However visual hallucinations can accompany the auditory hallucinations as part of the experience. Other causes of psychosis should be ruled out as visual hallucinations are more common in other psychosis.

Question 5

would you have to have visual hallucinations in order to be diagnosed with schizophrenia?

Accepted Answer

No: Relatively few pts with schizophrenia have visual hallucinations--auditory r much more common but hallucinations aren't a necessary requirement for the diagnosis.

Question 6

can you have schizophrenia without any visual hallucinations? i have delusions, but no hallucinations.

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can have schizophrenia without hallucinations  AND you can have hallucinations or delusions without schizophrenia.  That you are asking this question suggests you may not have schizophrenia.  Schizophrenic delusions are felt by the person experiencing them to be fact not delusion.

Question 7

i want go hospital or doctor check see x-ray im schizophrenia and hallucinations ?

Accepted Answer

Talk w your provider: Have your schizoprhenia symptoms worsened? Please  let your psychiatrist know. The earlier an increase in  psychotic symptoms is treated, the better.  Your psychiatrist can help to determine if you need psychiatric hospitalization right now and can help to get you admitted.

Question 8

is it possible to have schizophrenia if one experiences non-bizarre delusions, but no hallucinations, hearing voices or bizarre delusions?

Accepted Answer

Complicated, but yes: If someone has non-bizarre delusions and disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, or flat affect, alogia, or avolition, schizophrenia may be present.  But, this might be the case only if there is significant disturbance in important areas of functioning in day-to-day life (e.g., work, school, relationships, self-care). A professional evaluation can help clarify this.

Question 9

can someone diagnosed with bpd experience symptoms of schizophrenia, such as, delusions and hallucination: audio and visual. where is the line that would denote it's not schizophrenia and actually a personality disorder?

Accepted Answer

: A.mental health professional would be best to answer your question and also to evaluate such a patient for  accurate diagnosis. BPD&amp; schizophrenia can coexist. If there's no psychotic behavior, then, in my opinion,it would be BPD

Question 10

visual hallucination or something of that nature always indication of tumor?

Accepted Answer

No: Visual hallucinations can happen with a number of conditions, not just brain tumors.  Delirium of all types is one -- especially alcohol withdrawal delirium and intoxication with hallucinogens.  Some medications can cause these especially in older people.  Dementia with lewy bodies; migraines; seizures; and creuzfeldt-jakob disease.  Also, about half of people with parkinson's disease have these.
