The other link...this explains the diagnosis criteria way better:

For a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder:

you have to have both psychotic symptoms and mood symptoms at the same time for part of an episode
in the same episode, you also have to have a period with only psychotic symptoms
you also have to have the mood symptoms for a substantial part of the episode.

While I was in the hospital and after I got out, I was having the psychotic symptoms without mania or depression. But when the delusions first started (outside of the hospital) I was feeling excited and elated but it was because I was super excited about my new-found ability of mind control.

Anyway, I'm still having some psychotic symptoms but I think they are more residual. I'm noticing that right now I'm probably hypomanic at the least...but not depressed.

Thanks!
