She has had strong delusions. She got allopathic medicine for it, which ameliorated. She had religious delusions of the end of the world. She thought that it would always be sunny, that it would always be daytime. She saw the child Jesus in the street. She is afraid that evil thoughts will be directed towards her. Afraid that she might wish something evil for another, then something bad will happen to her. She doesn't hear voices. She heard the hissing that snakes make in the hospital. She saw strange things.
