The difference between Schizoaffective and Bipolar with psychotic features, is that in Bipolar the psychosis happens only during extreme mood states (mania or depression), while in Schizoaffective the psychosis is present even when the mood is stable. It's a subtle distinction, and the same person might get either diagnosis depending on how they look to the doctor at that time. If there is psychosis Bipolar II is ruled out.
