HALLUCINATION
Introduction
Hallucination is a perception in tthe absence of apparent stimulus that has qualities of real perception. This hallucination have been created by the mind. That the individual feels as if he received an actual stimulus a stimulus that doesn't objectively exist. The word 'hallucinaton' itself was introduced into the English language by the seventeeth century physician Sir Thomas Browne in 1646 from the derivation of the Latin word alucinari meaning to wonderin the mind. Hallucination is a phenomena that invovle vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. This hallucinationare experienced to everyone especially when they have a mental health problems which are schizophrenia, Alzheimer disease and bipolar disorder. Not only that, mental states are not exclusively the cause of hallucinations as they may also be experienced by people with brain tumors, viral infections, diabetes or even something like common as a high fever, flu or common cold.
Background of study
Hallucination is a perception in the absence of apparent stimulus that has qualities of real perception. These hallucinations have been created by the mind. For example, you might hear a voice that no one else in the room or see an image that is not real. The word 'hallucination' itself was introduced into the English language by the seventeenth century physician Sir Thomas Browne in 1646 from the derivation of the Latin word alucinari meaning to wonder in the mind.
Hallucinations are distinguished from the related phenomena of dreaming, illusion, imagery and pseudo hallucination. They involve vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. These hallucinations are experienced by everyone who is a baby, young kids, teenagers and an adult. There are a few types of hallucination such as visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, hypnagogic and hypnopompic.
A visual hallucination is the seeing of things that are not there. The hallucination may be of objects, visual patterns, people, or lights. This happen to my friend who have a schizophrenia anxiety. She always saw a person that has a long hair and wearing a white shirt with bloody eyes. Then she will draw it to her book or tablet and save it as her collection.
Auditory hallucinations are very common in paranoid schizophrenia. They can hear noises or voices. These can be divided into two categories which is elementary and complex. Elementary hallucinations are the perception of sounds such as hissing, whistling, an extended tone and many more. Complex hallucinations are those of voices, music, or other sounds that may or may not be clear. They might hear someone speaking to them or telling them to do certain things. The voices may be angry, neutral or warm. These types of hallucination include hearing sounds like someone walking in the attic or repeated clicking or tapping noises.
Olfactory hallucinations are involving our sense of smell. We might smell an unpleasant odor such as rotting flesh, vomit, urine, feces, smoke or others when walking up in the middle of the night or feel that our body smells bad when it does not. We also might smell a good smell like the smell of flowers.
Gustatory hallucinations related to sense of taste. In this situation a person will essentially taste something that is not there. This can occur when one's mouth is completely empty or when one's mouth does contain food and the person experiences a different taste to what is considered normal. Some commonly reported taste sensations include onions, metal, tobacco, fruit as well as a general "bad taste". These are experienced by people who suffer from brain incus region responsible for taste and smell. There are a "miracle fruit" that now has been commercially cultivated in the U.S. resulting in a tablet form of the active ingredient. The fruit, when ingested, causes subsequent consumption of bitter food to taste sweet. The effects can last be for up to one hour after ingestion of the fruit in either natural or tablet forms.
Tactile or somatic hallucinations involve the feeling of pressure on skin or body parts. More commonly it is referred to as simply a feeling of touch from an object that is not there. This may include feelings of somebody touching your body, insects walking either on or beneath your skin or formication and cutting of hair. An example of such a condition might be a patient who suddenly turns around, convinced that someone has just touched their back, only to find nobody present other than themselves. People who experience formication may be so convinced that insects are crawling under their skin that they scratch so excessively as to induce bleeding or scaring.
Hypnagogic forms of hallucinations are those which occur as a result of a person state of consciousness during the onset of sleep when they are half asleep or awake. These are often referred to as "sleep onset dreams" or "half-awake dreams" as the person often recalls dream like visions occurring during the time before the sleep period begins. Some common images that people experience during hypnagogic hallucinations include geometric patterns, tunnels of light and phosphine. This type of hallucinations also been linked with the phenomenon of sleep paralysis and visible entities. In this situation a person will believe that there is a presence in the room with them, either beside or at the end of the bed. The person is typically unknown to them and may induce a feeling of tension or fear. During the experience many people report that their body is in a state of paralysis and their speech is either impaired or disabled. These are sometime associated with brainstem abnormalities.
Hypnopompic hallucinations are essentially the opposite of hypnagogic in that they are experienced during the walking state rather than the falling asleep state. These typically occur because the brain is not fast enough to readjust its functioning to an awake state from the dream state. As the name empires, temporary hallucinations are not chronic. They may occur. For example, if a relationship has just ended or if someone that love to us has just passes away. We might hear the person's voice for a moment or briefly see his or her image. Typically, this type of hallucination disappears as the pain of us less diminishes.
There are a few causes of hallucination. The most common causes is mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, delirium and dementia. Substance abuses also are common cause of hallucination. Some people see or hear things that are not there after drinking too much alcohol or taking drugs like cocaine, PCP, DMT, ecstasy, ketamine or marijuana. Medications taken for certain mental and physical condition is another common cause hallucination such as Parkinson's disease, depression, psychosis and epilepsy. Medications may trigger hallucination symptoms. The other conditions that can cause hallucinations include terminal illnesses (AIDS, brain cancer, or kidney and liver failure), high fevers especially in children and the elderly, migraine, social isolation, seizures, epilepsy and deafness, blindness or vision problems.
We have to diagnose hallucinations because there has many factors can trigger hallucinations. The best thing to do is to call doctor right away if we suspect that our perceptions are not real or visit a psychiatric, a neurologist or a general practitioner. If we know someone who is hallucinating, avoid leaving them alone. Stay with the person at all times and go with them to the doctor for emotional support. Treatment may include taking medication to cure a physical or mental illness or adapting healthier behaviours like drinking less alcohol and getting more sleep.
The statement of Problem of this research is from the report of Kosmo (6 Jun 2014) in Malaysia, it is estimated that three million people potentially suffering from mental illness. The statistics show that the risk for us to suffer mental illness actually same magnitude with an opportunity for us to have physical ailments. Based on the Kosmo report in 2008, Negeri Sembilan recorded the highest number of mental patients in Malaysia. From Rental Computer Online report in 2009, data of the World Health Organization (WHO) on October 2007 recorded the number of people with mental disorders in Indonesia reached 26 million people.It is estimated that around 60% of people with severe visual impairment may experience temporary visual hallucinations. According to a report of the national health study and Third in 2006, increased morbidity among causes of mental disorder is depression.
Our aim and objective is to gain knowledge about hallucination. We also want to deliver good message to other based on hallucinations. Besides that, we can understand about hallucination in medical context. Not only that, we want to create campaign poster throughout my research. Lastly, we want to find a solution for hallucination problems.
In conclusion, hallucinations can be experienced by everyone such as a baby, young kids, teenagers and adult especially when they have mental health problems which have a schizophrenia, Alzheimer disease and bipolar disorder. There are many aspects that can be centered on people who suffer from hallucinations. People with brain tumors, viral infections and diabetes also can cause hallucinations. Hallucinations also have a type of hallucinationvaries which is vision, sense of smell, touch and many more. From this research we know that hallucination have their types. We also know that hallucination can be happen from many way especially who those that has a mental illnesses. Then we learned ways to solve this hallucination from medication therapy and psychology.

Conclusion
In conclusion, hallucinations can be experienced by eveyone which is a young kids, teenagers and adult. There are many aspects that can be centered on people who suffer from hallucinations. For example, that excessive drugs, taking drugs, drinking alcohol and many more. Hallucinations also have a type of hallucination varies which is vision, sense of smell, touch and many more. From this research we know that hallucination have their types. We also can know that hallucination can be happen from many ways. Then we learned ways to solve this hallucination.
