No not at all...its just pdocs make all sorts of assumptions based on the type of hallucination(ie medical vs psych vs malingering) and they are often wrong but don't know it because they generally don't ask everyone the question like we do here. I mean do you hallucinate bugs isn't part of the DSM so they never ask but if someone brings it up one day it may be that 99% of people have bug hallucinations but this one person randomly mentions it for the first time so they think its rare because they never heard of it before. Some hallucinations can be strong indicators of other conditions like seizures etc so they actually do consider the content. I just wanted to mention the association because it may impact treatment....
