Hi
Even if you know the hallucinations aren’t real, I think it’s still considered a symptom of schizophrenia.
I don’t think you’ve been scammed by the psychiatrist.
That bill sounds standard for healthcare in the USA, unfortunately.
As far as I’m aware, a lot of psychiatric medication can take weeks or months before you start feeling the benefits. Let your psychiatrist know if you’re not responding to the treatment.
Wishing you the best, mate.
