FED: One in ten Aussie teens see, hear, hallucinations

Almost one in ten Australian teens say they have hallucinations .. and new research
shows they're more likely to be cannabis users or come from broken homes.

The study took in a nationally representative group of more than 12-hundred young people
aged 13 to 17.

The survey results are published in the international journal Schizophrenia Research.

But the authors say these teenagers won't automatically go on to develop a mental illness
in adulthood.
