hello, it quite a distressing situation for the child and you. but you will need to revisit the child psychologist you were consulting before. the psychologist might advise to redo some previous test, because hallucinations in a child is a very complex situation and will need very structured approach. since talk therapy was helpful before consider restarting it. also please maintain a symptom log like when did the hallucinations start? how long does it last?what was the specific sutuations before it happened and what did she say she was seeing or hearing. talk to your child but dont pressure her. consult a neurologist if you must abnd especially if the episodes of hallucinations leaves your daughter distressed or agressive. try to maintain routines and avoid over focusing on her symptoms, allow the childs hobbies and other intersets to come to focus. coming to the ayurvedic perspective start with external treatments for now. use brahmi taila for head massage and leave the oil on head for a couple of minutes similarly do foot massages. 2 drops of ksheerabala 101 a in each nostril in morning will also be beneficial , keep her diet really clean i.e fresh, warm easily digestable
