If you hear voices in general it's nothing major
If the voice are telling you a lot of negative things it's a bit more troubling.
If you hear voices and you firmly believe / act on the things they tell you then perhaps it's going to raise some red flags.
That's just my opinion on it from my observations, not scholarly or anything.

My voices were usually critical or narrating. Some commands some of which were distressing. I was also super paranoid to the point that I thought people were poisoning me and thought people could read my thoughts. So I guess that falls under psychosis >1 month. But a lot of the time the voices were the main problem and I think that would fall under poor functioning >6 months... along with the social issues, flat affect, and other negative symptoms...
