Deion is experiencing command hallucinations, which are a type of hallucination in which the person hears voices that command or instruct them to do something. The voices may be perceived as being outside of the person's own thoughts or may sound like the person's own inner voice. In Deion's case, the voices are telling him to run away or to harm others, and he feels compelled to do what they say.
