Key Concepts

Hallucinations

Hallucinations are perceptual experiences that occur in the absence of any external stimulus. They can affect any of the senses, and auditory hallucinations—hearing voices that are not really present—are among the most common types, often associated with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia.

Delusions

Delusions are strongly held false beliefs that are resistant to reason or contradictory evidence. Despite clear evidence to the contrary, individuals maintain these beliefs, which can significantly distort their perception of reality and are frequently observed in psychotic disorders.

Obsessions

Obsessions are intrusive, recurrent, and persistent thoughts, urges, or images that cause significant anxiety or distress. They are characteristic of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and often compel individuals to engage in behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety.

Compulsions

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. These acts are typically intended to prevent or reduce distress or to stop some dreaded event, although they are not realistically connected to what they are meant to neutralize.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, often accompanied by physical signs such as increased heart rate or sweating. It is a common emotional state that, while normal in moderation, can become pathological when it is excessive or interferes with daily functioning.
