"A pseudohallucination is an involuntary sensory experience that is vivid enough to be regarded as a hallucination, but which is recognized by the person experiencing it as being subjective and unreal. By contrast, a “true” hallucination is perceived as entirely real by the person experiencing it " (Pseudohallucination - Wikipedia)
"The term is not widely used in the psychiatric and medical fields, as it is considered ambiguous;[5] the term nonpsychotic hallucination is preferred.[6] Pseudohallucinations are more likely to happen with a hallucinogenic drug. But "the current understanding of pseudohallucinations is mostly based on the work of Karl Jaspers".[7]
"A further distinction is made between pseudohallucinations and parahallucinations, the latter being a result of damage to the peripheral nervous system.[8]
"They are considered a possible symptom of conversion disorder in DSM-IV (2000).[9] In DSM-5 (2013), this definition has been removed.[2] Also, pseudohallucinations can occur in people with visual/hearing loss, referred to as Charles Bonnet syndrome.[citation needed][10]
