[|Human|] I experience what I think is hearing hallucinations when anxious. My neurologist called it Hypervigilence, but the online description of this condition does not match my symptoms. I occasionally see a flicker in my peripheral vision, also like someone walking past, shadow-like. What is this? I have abnormal, though not epileptic, brain activity, possibly due to my Cerebal Palsy. I also have Hypnopompic Hallucinations, also known as Sleep Paralysis. I hope this extra information is helpful. Thanks, Alison
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. With the limited information that you have provided, it is difficult to conclude whether you are having hallucinations or not. There is a possibility that you may be having what is called pseudo-hallucinations, but a detailed history and psychological assessment is required to pinpoint the diagnosis. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation with a view of arriving at an appropriate diagnosis. Further treatment will depend on the nature and severity of the condition. Wish you all the best.
