hi dutchess,

I've never heard that particular name for it. I thought it was called Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type.
...anyways, maybe it's because you and i live in different countries or something? I'm in the US.

anyways, I've been diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, but it's also been thought that i Have Schizoaffective disorder, depressed Type.

I'm 18. I've been having symptoms (hearing voices, seeing things, feeling things, paranoia) since i was about 3 years old. I was misdiagnosed with lots of things when i was younger (because i never told anyone or described well enough much of my symptoms) first i was diagnosed with Depression, PTSD, and Auditory processing disorder, and later on, OCD, Psychotic depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, ADD, and depersonalization disorder....Until the doctors realized i have schizophrenia.
I've been on lots of meds, but right now, i have chosen not to be on any antipsychotics. I'm just on antidepressants for now (Effexor and Trazadone)

I hope everything gets better for you. good luck
