What To Do For The Abnormal Behavior?

Should I be concerned on how much I have conversations with myself and or with people that are not even there. I may know the person or I just may make up a person. I have a full conversation. I ask them questions and I answer them like they are right there

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear,
what you describe is suggestive of hallucination.
i think you hear a voice of person and may even you can see them also and talk like normal person but other people not even see or hear the person.
this type of behavior occur in psychotic disorder like schizophrenia.
so consult psychiatrist for detail history and mental status examination.
is there any other features like suspicious behavior, abnormality in speech or behavior, irritability etc...
Thank you
