4. Maggie is a 17-year-old girl who is very involved in her religion. She prays multiple times each day, attends religious services regularly, and participates in religious youth group activities and charity events.

Recently, she reported to her mother and her friends that she has “spoken” to God and that God is sending her messages about her life. Maggie has also reported seeing God and angels while praying. Her mother is becoming concerned about her vivid reports of these religious experiences. How might a clinician differentiate these experiences from delusions or hallucinations?
