I was also diagnosed shcizoaffective after my last hospital stint. I don't agree with it either and have asked my therapists, and they just tell me it basically doesn't mean anything, they don't know what to call it. It was bipolar 1 for like 10 years. But, I guess I was having delusions when I was having somewhat stability? Idk. I don't agree I thought I was manic the whole time.

I don't have hallucinations, or hear voices.. So how am I schitzoaffective?
Yes, I had some delusions whilst manic, but isn't that part of the symptoms of mania?

It doesn't matter really.. It's not like the world has to know what over the hell they label you. It's treated the same as bipolar.

It is frustrating though saying your bipolar doesn't sound as crazy as saying your schitzoaffective. When people hear schitzo they automatically think insane
