[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 550097, member: 7083"] My daughter has severe anxiety with panic, and hallucinations - mainly auditory, but some visual, as well as paranoia which gave her the diagnosis of Psychotic Disorder not otherwise specified. She started having mild and intermittent hallucinations when she was a little older than your daughter. We don't know what causes the hallucinations. Sometimes I suspect it is anxiety, sometimes it doesn't seem to have anything to do with anxiety. She doesn't have the disorganized speech and behavior that is seen with schizophrenia. She doesn't have the magical thinking that goes with schizoaffective disorder, and she doesn't have bipolar disorder, or a psychotic depression. She's on an antipsychotic which has helped with the hallucinations dramatically, which, of course, has eased the terror that the hallucinations caused, and has also helped her anxiety and depression. I worry about the future - if this will evolve into something more - but focus on the present. It's all we can really do. [/QUOTE]
