Lex,
Was that an official DX or just a discussion? For what it's worth, I would suggest (before you tell your Dad) that you might want to consult a psychiatrist or psychologist.
There are tests they administer to check your levels of dissociation like a screening test called the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). If you score high on that test then you'll be evaluated further with the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS) and/or the Structured Clinical Interview for Dissociative Disorders (SCID-D).
Dissociation/hallucinations can show up in many other disorders like schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, panic disorders and even depression.
Again, Lex. Just my personal suggestion.
Good luck,
Petunia
