Seeing or hallucinate thing or shape are called a visual hallucination. “Gustatory hallucination for taste”, “Olfactory hallucination for smell” and “Tactical hallucination for feeling”. That is the type of hallucination. When someone hears his name being called off they become persecuted and oppressed. Those voices may harm the person who hallucinate it by controlling their mind to do something like the commands “kill yourself” and they will just follow the command and commit suicide.

(Tanya Lewis, Staff Writer, 2015). Gray matter is the tissue that contains the bodies of nerve cells in three regions deep in the brain which is the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, the right insula, and the left insula. Most of the part, the researchers found brain similarities among the different disorders. (Tanya Lewis, Staff Writer, 2015). For example, schizophrenia is different from the other mental-health disorders in term of the amount of gray-matter loss. Depression also one of the factor that ivolved in the shrinkage of the amygdala and hippocampus, brain regions involved in emotion and memory, respectively, the researchers found.

People were vomiting, screaming uncontrollably, claiming they see things that no one else can, and convulsing and contorting their bodies into impossible positions. Doctors soon called to examine the girls who were experiencing such things yet there was no medical reason for experiencing these things. At this point, the people turned to other types of forces that may be causing these symptoms.
In Schiller’s case, she began to develop symptoms of Schizophrenia at the young age of 17. When she first experienced “The Voices” as she calls them, she was working at a summer camp. She was in the process of dealing with a breakup when in the middle of the night, she heard a powerful Voice say “You must die!” (Schiller, L., 6). The Voices continually screamed obscene profanity at her until she would leave her room and run outside onto a trampoline and jumped until she was physically exhausted.
Mass hysteria is a condition, which affects an entire group of people, which is influenced by excitement and/or anxiety. It bring about irrational behavior and beliefs. When many people at once are hysterical, or even one person that can convince the others, it can cause the group to have hallucinations. Once they start believing something and seeing things that aren’t actually there it is pretty easy to toy with their minds.
“The schizophrenic mind is not so much split as shattered. I like to say schizophrenia is like a waking nightmare”(). This argument made by the renowned legal scholar and victim of schizophrenia, Elyn Saks, is delineated in Truman Capote’s short story about schizophrenia. The character Miriam from Truman Capote’s short fiction Miriam symbolized Mrs. Miller’s schizophrenia. Miriam’s existence was a symptom of schizophrenia, her attitude represented the stubbornness of the disorder, and her move into Mrs. Miller’s home represented the fact that schizophrenia is an incurable disorder.

Imagine knowing that you were going to be killed within the next few days. But you don’t know how. Paranoia. Schizophrenia. Maybe even insanity.

The hallucinations of the narrator weren’t even possible to happen. “While hallucinations can involve any of five senses, auditory hallucinations (e.g. hearing voices or some other sound) are most common in schizophrenia. This statement declares that in their mind they hear sounds in their head that make them believe that it is real even if there is no possible way it can (Schizophrenia 2). “ It was a low, dull quick sound-- much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton….It is the beating of his hideous heart!”.
A young girl shares he hallucinations that sound quite similar to this, “ I have had partial seizures for 11 years now…. These originated in the left temporal lobe. At 16, I thought I was going crazy because I could see another world and hear voices that told me that my reality isn't real.” (Epilepsy Foundation) After a seizure, bleeding of the nose, ears, or even eyes can occur, which would explain his bloody nose and passing out in chapter 9, “...when the vessel broke in Simon’s nose and the blood gushed out they left him alone…” (pg. 145)
What is particularly interesting is that despite multiple reports from experiencer 's of NDE, there is still a wealth of skepticism. Thousands of NDE 's have been reported to medical professionals, and yet they are often brushed off as hallucinations, or insanity. It is my opinion that NDE 's do occur, but the purpose of these experiences is still debatable. Considering that the most substantial research efforts occurred in the 1980 's it is probably pre-mature to determine exactly what the cause and purpose of NDE 's are. I think what is comforting is that individuals who survive NDE 's come back with a noted vibrancy and zest for life.
When Swiss scientists electrically stimulated an epileptic patient’s brain, things turned really spooky. The patient reported a shadow person sitting behind her, copying her every move. This leads us to the knowledge that the energy on the brain has a dpside effect that can make us see delusions. This phenomena, is closely related to a psychological term: the Fundamental Attribution Error.
