I have a psychiatric nurse practitioner. My insurance won't cover psychiatrists. She's the one that said I'm schizoaffective, and I don't think that's true. I have never hallucinating before or had auditory hallucinations. I'm so confused now. When I was in the hospital I did a whole bunch of testing and was diagnosed bipolar 1 and PTSD. The pdoc I saw was excellent. Now I have had delusions before and strong paranoia at times.
