I had the mood disorder first, starting with major depression, then bipolar when I was 25 with a full blown manic episode with audio hallucinatons, then in my 30's my thoughts became more disorganized I guess and my psychotic episode was one in which I thought I was being poisoned and I was hearing things, too, but the hallucinations were frightening, where as when I had my manic spell it was mostly very good. I actually was diagnosed by a psychologist when I was 17 with schizoid personality disorder, along with the depression. I wonder where personality disorders fit in with it all.
