Yeah I get the being able to tell the difference thing. I've met people offline that have schizoaffective disorder and I'm... different than them, like once you recognize the difference it's pretty easy to spot.

I don't care as much about labels as I used to, either. I only care if it's an issue of not getting the right meds or worse getting the wrong ones.
