What Causes Visual Hallucinations & Sleep Screaming?
Patient Query
Hello Doctor,
I’ve been seeing things at night and sometimes even when I’m awake in low light. I also scream in my sleep without realizing it. What could be causing these symptoms?

Hello
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
To properly assess, I’d need more information, like the patient’s age and any history of drug use or mental illness in the family. For children, it could be night terrors, while for adults, nightmares are possible. A psychiatric evaluation may also be necessary to rule out psychosis.
Thanks
