Hallucinations are false or distorted sensory experiences in the absence of external stimuli. These sensory impressions are generated by the mind and may be seen, heard, felt, and even smelled or tasted.

11. Additional information
Symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions usually start between ages 16 and 30. Males tend to experience symptoms a little earlier than females. Most commonly, schizophrenia occurs in late adolescence and early adulthood. It is uncommon to be diagnosed with schizophrenia after age 45. Strong genetic links. If it doesn’t run in familial line, unlikely to have it. Even if it does, it is only 1% of the population affected, and you usually need a major life stressor to trigger the disorder.
