Hallucinations

Tips from survivors: “I remind myself it’s my brain misfiring—staying calm helps it pass.”

Seeing, hearing, or sensing things that are not actually present.

Visual images, voices, sounds, or sensations that feel real but have no external source.

Stroke affects areas of the brain responsible for perception and sensory processing.

Uncommon, but can occur depending on the location and severity of the stroke.

Medical evaluation, managing underlying causes, creating a calm environment, and reassurance.
