I've been having troubles with concentration, i've been seeing things that clearly do not exist. is it possible that i have a mental illness?

Yes. maybe...: you ARE describing 2 symptoms we'd worry about, decreased concentration and visual hallucinations. But MORE importantly, they are obviously distressing to you. Try not to worry so much about "having a mental illness, " and just go see your regular MD to start with. Tell them about ALL your symptoms, all your meds, vitamins, drugs, let them run some tests... get the help you need. Wait on naming it.

Hallucinations: It is definitely not normal to have visual hallucinations. Please seek care, talk to your doctor soon. Good luck!
