Hallucination:

Hallucination is a situation where you start experiencing something that is not present in the real world. And hallucination can parallel the human senses.

Delusion is also a Psychosis feature. People with this disorder have some false beliefs in them and they deny agreeing with the facts even if the facts are proved to them or shown to them.
