I don't think schizoaffective disorder is connected to bipolar disorder, so you wouldn't see traits of bipolar disorder. Schizoaffective is similar to schizophrenia but it includes mood issues along with it. That could be depressive traits which are a lot like the negative symtoms of schizophrenia but must be more than that. Does your mood fluctuate?

You pose a very good question. A new therapist is a good idea. Have you had these issues since you were 15? That's pretty young. What was it like back then? how did it all start? I ask because my son is 15 and he began isolating and talking/laughing to himself about a year ago and we are trying to figure out how to help him. He jogs around the house a lot thinking and laughing and occasionally turns destructive and angry. He went off the meds he'd been taking for the past 6 weeks and the outbursts began. He went back to taking meds last week, thankfully, so we hope he can function well enough for school! Last school year was a nightmare!

Sorry to go on and on. I wish you the best! Take care of yourself. I really think meds can help.
