well i get diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia in hospitals but then this pdoc diagnosed me as schizoaffective. all i know is im schizo something and that will never change. im not as worried about labels as i used to be. im getting older and i just want the right meds BUT my therapist did say i wasnt depressed enough to warrant depressive type and vice versa for bipolar type. that it was just for insurance purposes. but i do notice one other guy at the clinic who has schizoaffective but hes clearly schizophrenic. i mean as a fellow psych hospital patient i can tell. so idk how they label their patients/clients.
