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.
