Good morning,

I was diagnosed with Bipolar I with Psychotic Features several years ago. I understand that hallucinations are classified as being visual or auditory (generally), however I experience more often than these olfactory hallucinations.

Olfactory (of course) being odors or scents. I would recognize the onset of an episode by "smelling" a person that I used to know (that was not there, nor was ever there) that acted as its own trigger into the episode.

I have also heard of tactile and gustatory hallucinations, but I was wondering if anyone else here has experienced hallucinations that are out of the realm of visual and auditory.
