I'm in no way an expert on this... but from my very limited understanding, I have heard of of hallucinations associated with illnesses other than schitzophrenia.

Although I personally have not heard of it associated with OCD I have heard it associated with Bipolar and some other "combination" diagnosis. Usually (I think) in the case of something like Bipolar it can come along with an extended period of untreated mania... makes sense to me as wearing down the bodies resources seems likely to produce other symptoms.

Please don't worry about the diagnosis... I know it may be a scary proposition but think of the diagnosis not as a "label" to your personality, nor something that limits your future in any way... a diagnosis is meant to be a "label" not for the person, but really for the doctors so that they can begin treatment. It helps doctors know how to proceed by giving the group of symptoms a name.

Talk with your doctor about this and what it means for you... don't rely on stereotypes that society may group with these illnesses.
