Q: Parkinsons And Hallucinations

Hi. I'm 47 year old women. Parkinson's Disease runs in my family. My father had it, and hi sister too. I'm having some hallucinations lately. I haven't been to doctor yet. Could I have Parkinson's Disease? I know that my chances of having it are big and I'm going to check, but right now I need some consolation .... Can hallucinations be from something else ? Thanks

Psychotic symptoms like hallucinations are possible in Parkinson disease but only in the final stages of the disease. Hallucinations can be due to neurological disorders (delirium, dementia etc.) or psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, paranoia etc).
If you are aware that what you see or hear is not true then you don't have hallucinations but false hallucinations.
Do you still experience "hallucinations"?
