Is it common to have mainly problematic alters?

So, one of my friends has DID and their system is primarily made up of 'problematic' alters: such as >!murderers, addicts, etc.!< They're mainly fictives, but not necessarily close to source. Is this a common thing in systems? I'm worried about the affects they may have on my friend.

>Problematic as in the way they interact: actions, how they think and how they feel. Not so much in the: "this person did bad things and is therefore a bad person" way.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to interact better with these alters, I'd love to hear them.

Edit: There's more explanations in some of these reply threads, I recommend looking there, too. ^^
