[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 76373, member: 3783"] My daughter started reporting hallucinations when she first arrived at a new placement - a PRTF - and she had never reported hallucinations before. We're still not sure if they were medication-induced... at that time she was on five different medications! But her psychiatrist told her that she didn't "need" those hallucinations to communicate her needs - she had been telling other kids that her hallucination (a young girl) was mad at them. So he told her to just communicate her needs directly. This gave her a way to give up the hallucinations and "save face" if they were a means of getting attention. She told the psychiatrist that her hallucination had made a new friend and wouldn't be back. She hasn't reported them since... [/QUOTE]
