Oh that must be so scarey for you both, I am not aware of hallucinations in anxiety however im no medical expert so I couldnt swear it doesnt happen. I would say this should be mentioned to you phychiatrist. Good luck I hope you find out whats happening :0)

I have just come back from seeing his specialist she told me what stephen has is rare probably about 10 per cent children with anxiety present with this the hallucinations are very bad ,she said anxiety can cause it as he has extreme thank you for taking the time to speek to me its very lonely theres no support groups out there for me to access

There doesnt seem to be many actual support groups around for anxiety, which is a shame and frustrates the hell outta me lol arrghh!! It does get very lonely and stressfull for people with anxiety and the people closest to them...feel free to chat on here anytime sometimes helps to get stuff out there verbally....well cyber verbally i guess this type of chatting would be :0)
