I am so confused. I am diagnosed, currently, with Schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. My psychiatrist recently told me to read up on borderline personality disorder. Due to BPD being my Axis III diagnosis, it has been the least discussed with both of my pdocs. So....as I was told I looked up BPD and read up on it. Now I have a conundrum. My question is regarding the mood swings that are inherent to BPD and the fact that I have never truly had a fully blown manic episode. I have nearly been hypomanic and not sleeping. Would it be wrong for me to believe that I have been misdiagnosed and that I do not have schizoaffective disorder and that I really have schizophrenia and the afffected mood comes from the BPD?
