I was diagnosed Bipolar 1 a couple of years back, and then more recently a psychologist I went to for help with psychosis sent a letter to my pdoc saying it was more like Schizoaffective than Bipolar. My pdoc had just told me she thought it was something along those lines before she opened and read his letter. But for the official record she kept it Bipolar 1. I'm not complaining

I lurk here because there are people who have a lot in common with me.

I really don't like the way some doctors are in a hurry to slap a label such as Schizoaffective onto young people, especially when they have very little case history with that person, and in some countries, diagnoses like that can be very difficult to shake.
