What Causes Hallucinations in Alzheimer's Patients?
A number of symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are labeled as "psychotic," hallucinations being one of them. Around 18 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease experience hallucinations, and they are more often reported in people with a later disease onset. For the majority these are visual, for others they are auditory, with some having both. Experiencing hallucinations normally lasts from one to two years and occurs in line with declining cognitive functions.
