It's important to understand that hearing other alters' voices doesn't have to be psychosis. We hear other alters' voices, but they come from within. It's not an hallucination because it's like if it came from an inner ear.
Seeing alters could be considered psychosis. Chris had an hallucination recently, he saw some people who used to be bad waiting for him in our building's lobby. He almost passed out but it couldn't be real. It's the first time a serious visual hallucination happened...

yes that was the point of my post....its not a part of DID, diagnostics nor symptoms but a person can have more than one mental disorder or health issue (your term in Barcelona... comorbidity) that can cause the hallucination ie DID and Psychosis, DID and PTSD, DID and delusional disorder....
