That's true.
The Voice has told my mother that if she doesn't do what it says, it will "forget her name." To her this means that God will send her to hell when she dies unless she does what the voice says. She's done plenty of things that she didn't want to do, that no rational person would do, because she believes the voice holds this power over her. Were the voice to tell her to kill children, she very likely might do it -- because she's not in her right mind. I wouldn't put it past her to do almost anything the voice tells her because she believes it's God doing the talking.
This may very well be something that really has to be lived to be believed. I wouldn't doubt it. So many things I scoffed at aren't so far fetched after what I've seen in the past few years. What I thought was "normal" wasn't. What looked from the outside like "normal" and even loving, wasn't. It's amazing how much can be wrong and seemingly no one is aware of it.

Yes, I can definatly identify with that. Either way, have you considered asking your mother to take pills?
