Plural of hallucinosis; multiple instances of a psychiatric condition characterized by persistent hallucinations without other prominent psychiatric symptoms.
From hallucinosis with the Greek plural suffix -es. Hallucinosis derives from hallucination with the medical suffix -osis meaning 'condition or disease.'
Hallucinoses as a condition is medically distinct from schizophrenia—a person can experience genuine hallucinations without the delusions or disorganized thinking, which helps doctors diagnose what's actually affecting someone's brain.
