The first step is discussing these symptoms with your healthcare team, as they may be related to Parkinson's medications. Your doctor can help by:

• Adjusting current medication dosages
• Changing medications
• Adding antipsychotic medications
• Recommending therapy or counseling

Finding the right treatment plan may take time and patience, as changes need to be balanced with managing motor symptoms. Here are some practical strategies that can help manage hallucinations:

• Keep rooms well-lit, as visual hallucinations often occur in low light
• Stay calm and speak in a reassuring tone
• Offer gentle distractions or changes in scenery
• Use reassuring phrases like "you are safe"
• Listen without interrupting
• Give space when needed

If the person recognizes the hallucinations aren't real, you can gently explain that what they're seeing isn't there. If they don't have this insight, it's better not to challenge their reality but instead redirect their attention.
