Dissociative Identity Disorder

How much is realistic in the movies? Is it true that someone might have a full conversation with their alters while everyone else sees them talking to themselves? Do they actually see their alters standing in front of them?

As someone with my own mental health struggles I’d like to try and understand it.

I’ve watched patients of mine lash out at their hallucinations, have conversations and react to things that are not in the room. Schizophrenia unfortunately is not embellished much in movies. Some people really do suffer through hallucinations that appear to attack them. Loud voices that tell them to do terrible things a d sometimes the hallucinations are so real to them they can’t work out what is real and what isn’t. Sometimea these people have been going through life unmedicated so long that they have completely lost touch with reality. It’s really sad
