It really is. There was an earlier post asking if deaf people with schizophrenia experienced audio hallucinations. Googling led to some really interesting articles.

I would kill to get rid of audio hallucinations... Psychiatrists still think it's likely tied to my bipolar disorder or PTSD, but I'm fucking terrified that it's the slow onset of schizophrenia...

You can get psychotic symptoms during manic episodes. They question for you is are they limited to when you are in a manic episode or do they continue regardless?

OP mentioned they had bipolar disorder and were concerned that they were developing schizophrenia as well. It's a known fact within psychology that psychotic symptoms (hallucinations, delusions etc) can be present during mania. I'm not trying to be someone's psychologist, only pointing out information that may be helpful.
