All of those symptoms are also associated with a certain type of seizure that affects the temporal lobe. When I was a teenager I thought for sure I had a serious mental illness. I would go through phases where I would hear & see things that weren't there. I would get a really strong sense of deja vu and depersonalization. After having a grand mal seizure, I finally told a neurologist about this. He said I had temporal lobe epilepsy. I was put on dilantin, it helped get rid of the seizures, but the med made me feel yucky. Just thought I would give a possibility. I have done lots of research on temporal lobe epilepsy, and found it can cause some pretty bizzare hallucinations. In fact many people have been diagnosed as having schizophrenia or similar disorders, and it turned out to be epilepsy.
