Hello brokengirl1980,

You don't have to be schizophrenic to have hallucinations or hear voices. Psychosis can be part of many other mental health issues. There can be psychosis with clinical depression, bipolar, PTSD, it is how the mind reacts to distress. Also you can more than one, two or more diagnosis, so you could have a personality disorder and have psychosis. What I think is important is, whether you find the voices distressing or not, if so then you would need treatment (medication) for that as well.
