I don't understand how people get diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. There are people on PC with that diagnosis who have minor psychotic symptoms compared to me. One got that diagnosis for hearing music. I just don't get it.
I know what you mean. So many of the people here who are dx'd with schizoaffective have very mild psychotic symptoms. I don't get it either. That's another reason why I don't post there much because the people there seldom talk about psychosis, which strikes me as odd.
