DSM-IV on Schizophrenia:
Only one Criterion A symptom is required if delusions are bizarre or hallucinations consist of a voice keeping up a running commentary on the person's behavior or thoughts, or two or more voices conversing with each other.
The more I learn about the definitions of mental illnesses, the distance between "us normal people" and "those crazy people" narrows. How many times have your thoughts bordered on the criteria above?
**late edit: and yes, I know that a schizophrenic's clearly audible voices differ from my internal monologue. but yet again we get into finer and finer gradations to differentiate between different places on the same spectrum.

dennis quaid can't help it but he consistently overacts. am watching him in smart people and he's trying so hard to look impotent and mousy that he ends up larger-than-life. and isn't his ex-wife's smile being plastic-surgeried into a version of poor mr. quaid's? bad enough to have your wife r.u.n.n.o.f.t. on you, and then she starts trying to look like your evil twin? bad form.
