Hi, Depression and hallucinations can be caused by various underlying conditions, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, or other mental health issues. Since your psychiatrist has prescribed medication but hasn't provided a specific diagnosis, it’s important to follow up with her for a comprehensive assessment to understand the root cause of your symptoms. Hallucinations, especially if they recur, need careful evaluation to rule out underlying medical or psychiatric conditions. Make sure to communicate all your symptoms and concerns openly with your doctor, and if your symptoms worsen or you experience any thoughts of harm, seek immediate medical attention. Remember, mental health issues are treatable, and getting the right diagnosis and support can help you recover and feel better.

The medicines prescribed to you are often used for managing hallucinations and mood symptoms, but only your psychiatrist can confirm the exact diagnosis after a full evaluation.

I would suggest discussing your diagnosis directly with your psychiatrist during your next visit and, if needed, you can also take a second opinion. Alongside medication, working with a psychologist for therapy can give you better coping strategies and support in recovery.

Please understand, each of our brain is unique and same medications may imapact different brains differently.
