There are three basic BP types - bipolar I, II and an undefined BP called "NOS" or sometimes called BP III. Having schizoaffective symptoms means there's some delusion or hallucination involved. It's a fine-line diagnosis. I have some hallucinations like seeing shadows or things darting by the corner of my eyes and sometimes I hear people call my name when no one does but I only have a BP diagnosis.

Talk to your p-doc and ask him to explain his thinking. Keep in mind that other p-docs could see things differently.
