I'm 29 years old and sometimes I have hallucinations and I don't take any medications. What can be the cause?

I would suggest you talk to your PCP about ruling out medical issues that could account for your symptoms, and that doctor can team up with a psychiatrist and maybe a neurologist if you and your PCP think you need those referrals. Psychosis in mental health can come from traditional thought disorders like schizophrenia, or even with severe mood disorders you might find psychotic symptoms, like with depression, bipolar, PTSD, or schizoaffective disorder.
Hi there,
There may be a few causes. One of the best ways to find out is to see a psychiatrist and have them do a full psychological assessment.

Hallucinations can be auditory, visual, tactile etc. Do they coincide with mood fluctuations or with depression or euphoria waves? i would recommend seeing a psychiatrist as well as a physician to let them know you have been experiencing these. We always want to rule out any medical conditions as well, good luck
One possible reason might be if you are using drugs or drinking alcohol. These can cause hallucinations in some people. In any case, you should see a psychiatrist to see if medications can be helpful to you.

Schizophrenia is a clinical issue for having hallucinations. It’s all about what hallucinations you are having. Psychic/mediums have somewhat of a time of hallucinations.
