yes is can. Example PTSD from hurricane katrina a person has nightmares and panic attacks of being back in it again. the person has trouble sleeping. lack of sleep leads to having sleep deprivation. symptoms of sleep deprivation includes having hallucinations of seeing and hearing things that are not there, delusional thoughts, Hallucinations (hearing voices, seeing things that aren't really there ) are a symptom of schizoaffective disorder
