Another option is because you are still seeing cats she changed your DX because you are no longer in a moodswing. Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type is bipolar with hallucinations or delusions outside mood swings. So it's one diagnosis. I think she probably looked through your history and changed your diagnosis recently and thought she had the conversation with you.

I would try not to stress about it I see Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type as just on the more severe side of the bipolar spectrum.
When did I say they changed it to schizoaffective disorder before today? The bipolar with borderline was in the hospital in Nov. 2012. I guess I'm forgetting.

I guess she thought she had the conversation with me. I did ask her if she's going to change my meds and she said not for now. She sees me in a month.
