Hi there Phil....

I read your post but I am a depressive (though unipolar so I understand the cycling) . I do not understand the other diagnosises you speak of because I do not experience them... I do care. I just do not know how to respond. Sometimes things ebb and flow here and I hope someone will respond that might respond better than me.

I recall feeling what I termed psychotic for a period some years ago when I was way way way depressed. So I understand what you mean actually when you speak of the psychosis lasting longer than the mood symptoms so that is concerning. How much longer and has this been going on repeatedly for a while?

I do not know what Schizoaffective Disorder is. What is it and how would your treatment differ if that was confirmed and agreed upon by the person treating you. Would meds differ or treatment or what?
