The difference between bipolar psychosis and schizoaffective it that with schizoaffective the psychosis will be present in the absence of a mood. With bipolar psychosis will be during a mood episode. Some dr's think bipolar, scizoaffective an schizophrenia is a spectrum, which actually kind of makes sense. Sorry just trying to help a bit.
I'm dx with bipolar 1 psychosis Nos. My pdocs have questioned schizoaffective because I sometimes have psychosis in the absence of mania or depression. I'm happy enough to leave my dx alone. But if that's what your are experiencing I would definitely talk to your pdoc about that possibility.
