Look at this article from a Stanford University anthropologist about hallucinations on this site:

In western society admitting having hallucinations often receives negative responses. This hurts people with mental illness. In reality hallucinations aren't inherently bad and are often neutral. I have/had schizophrenia and have mostly grown out of the illness. The only lingering effect is visual and auditory distortions. I am grateful I am a person who has made as much progress as I have. I am at peace.
I learned the hallucinations are easily ignored. They are harmless static. At first I hyper focused on them. Eventually I began practicing acknowledging and accepting them, then letting the thought disappear. Slowly this process became unconscious and now I am at peace.
Research the Nobel Prize winner
John Forbes Nash. Nash famously recovered from schizophrenia. Well mostly, in his later years a touch of hallucinations remained. They also have a wonderful movie about his life titled "
A Beautiful Mind".
John Forbes Nash Jr. (June 13, 1928-May 23, 2015) was an American mathematician and economist. Serving as a Senior Research Mathematician at Princeton University during the later part of his life, he shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with game theorists Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi.
