For me there is a difference. If the voices are menacing, or ask you to do things against your will or to harm yourself or another. Or if you act in a way that is usually not normal. My sister in law would have conversations with Jesus.. not so strange, until she said his real name was Shawn and that he had sex with her at night and taught her to paint (still that part isn't odd) but she never painted... or picked up a brush. Her reality was all in her mind.

That is schizophrenia to me and yes.. it has been badly misdiagnosed since the early 1800s.
