My father has had visual ones when his scizophrenia has flared. I think the important difference is if they are delusional, you believe what you see or hear is real. Many mood disorders have psychotic episodes not just schizophrenia. In my opinion a major difference is the thought processing, with schizophrenia it gets really warped, but it can do with bi-polar and others too perhaps.
Have you discussed it with your doctor?
