Could anxiety cause hallucinations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general -: Anxiety doesn't normally cause hallucinations. During a panic attack , you could have a sense that you aren't real or that the world around you is surreal. Hallucinations may occur in the context of severe post traumatic stress disorder (which is a form on anxiety disorder).
