Nothing major, I'd only scream and cry at the voice in private. My OCD, panic and conversion disorder were much more noticable.
i'm kinda the same way. i'm not really a talker anyway. selective mutism, i think it's called. i'm also non-confrontational. so i don't really react to the voices or visual hallucinations. i've caught myself a couple times before i actually shout out loud at something in my head or something i see. otherwise i come across as looking or being ok. the only time people seem to notice is when i withdraw and stop being friendly w/ patients at work or whatever. then they say, what's wrong? and i say, i'm just tired. which is all crap, but whatever.
