Hallucinations as one of the symptoms??

persistentWillow4292 June 6th, 2016

Hi, I've had clinical depression for roughly 3 years. I'm on medication and I visit my psychiatrist irregularly because of relapses of depression. Makes me have a hard time and have the willpower to visit. I stopped my medications at some point because my depression met a new kind of 'low' or it got worse. I'm taking it again since I feel a bit better now.

Since I've ever had depression I had been seeing shadows and people or cats though they're not really there. There is no specific time or pattern as to when it happens. This year it got worse and became a regular occurence. It gave me a hard time sleeping and caused some paranoia at some point where I thought shadows were following me. I think I need help on this. I don't want to tell my psychiatrist yet though because it might be fake? What do you think?

@persistentWillow4292 If it is something you are concerned about, then it might be worth talking to someone who specializes in that kind of thing, don't you think? Like if you think you might have a broken wrist, then seeing a doctor is something you might consider. Even if you don't know if it's real or not, the psychiatrist could possibly help with that, don't you think? If it is something that is affecting parts of your everday life (such as sleeping) than maybe it is worth it? I don't know though, only you know what is best for your situation, and i cannot be the judge of that heart I hope everything works out!
