Well, doctors very rarely (at least in most countries) lock up someone who only has hallucinations. It takes more than that for doctors to lock someone up. You can also tell if someone is having hallucinations and not seeing something real, if the person claims to see Satan, and Satan gives him orders to kill his entire family, and he thinks that the whole world is against him, and he keeps twitching and drooling and he sees dead people with clown suits singing "Hallelujah" while disco-dancing. Yes, I'm exaggerating, but you get my point.

P.S. I know it doesn't really answer your question but I had to comment on your last sentence.

But then if you get the information, which I doubt you will other than some show like on the Biography channel or the like, would you trust the source? I know I wouldn't.
