Are any kinds of Halucinations involved with Anxiety/OCD/ or any phobias

[JustBenn]

Hello

I am a 16 year old male

sorry to keep asking these questions over and over and over and over but i need somone reasurance today as i am still really afraid of getting schitzophrenia.

the thought stays with me. it never goes away as i allways remember the fear every single day.



I have been seeing eyes on walls went i want to for example
when i look into the walls thinking of nothing but eyes they start to come up and show, they are transparent and camafladged but i can still see it.

i know that it is a halucination as it disapears few seconds after i see it.

i dont see it any other time just went i want to or afraid i will see it.


I allso hear or think random voices when drifting off to sleep, half asleep or half awake.

when i am sitting infront of the computer i somtimes can see black spots or and transparant figure of a face that lasts 0.2 seconds.




I need some reasurance please help me i am really afraid.

i am not on any medication

is this a symtom of schitzophrenia or could it be anxiety?

hi ocd.

I don't know much about this but I found a couple of good links for information and/or not feeling alone.

My personal suspicion is that at the level you describe, having them a lot BUT being aware they are false its either severe anxiety or a mild form of more serious disorders. I tend to think that all the mental health issues are really a spectrum of disorders that happen because the chemical stew in our brains is now wrong. So no particular illness label really fits any single patient. They are convenient categories for medicine.

You should mention them to your GP so they can assess the significance or refer you to someone who can.
