I think if it were in a casual, conversational way that even a staunch pdoc may not be too quick to throw antipsychotics at you. I'm not sure how it is there in Eastern Europe, but here in the US there has been a shift to a more holistic outlook by some mental health professionals. Some may find auras and crystals a bit eccentric, but not particularly a sign of illness.

That being said...if it is in a more intense way: seeing visions, communicating directly to diety, dancing ecstatically like a whirling dervish...that may turn some psychiatric heads and bring out the prescription pads. That's the part of my "manic" spirituality that I so desperately miss. Makes me wonder how many potential "visionaries" are being suppressed by modern medicine. If Joan of Arc were alive today, she would be heavily medicated, and on some level, I find that very sad.
