I think it might be best to just describe them as thought processes that manifest as voices. Maybe?

I don´t think talking to a psychiatrist is sending the OP down an unhelpful road? Many symptoms like this have their debut when clients are in their early 20´s? I am not saying they are " symptoms" of anything at all. Psychotherapists are not trainded to make dxés and not all PDOC´s make quick assumptions when they hear the word " demons". I would not talk about this with a normal "GP" however.
