[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 57030, member: 3783"] My daughter began having hallucinations and mis-hearing people who were speaking in person a few weeks ago (probably in response to increased stress about transferring to a new program). Her psychiatrist was at first thinking that it was a less common side effect of SSRI anti-depressants. But soon they noticed a pattern of inconsistencies in her reporting the symptoms and observed that they never occurred when she was getting lots of attention. He suggested to her that if they weren't "ghosts", then these hallucinations must be an "extension" of herself and that she didn't need them to "speak for her". Before long, she told him that her hallucination had made a new friend and wouldn't be around any more. So, it gave her a way to stop the behavior without "losing face" and admitting it was a factitious symptom. So far so good - she seems to be cured of "hearing voices". [/QUOTE]
