It could well be. Certainly an idea worth exploring. I was reading in Mary Boyle's Schizophrenia : a scientific delusion? something to the effect that people tend to feel more depressed when the hallucinations and/or delusions are removed by medication. (I might have that wrong. I'm basing it on my memory.) That would make sense if the hallucinations are filling some kind of emotional need.
