I'm interested to know, because SZA might be a somewhat heterogeneous group (though that's difficult to "proof"). SZ can be BP-like and BP SZ-like in more ways than one, probably.
Well... what happened to me was that I had a psychotic break last year that mimicked a manic episode, but of what I believe was a severe stress/anxiety experience in which my brain just snapped. Then after that experience I had delusions and hallucinations and paranoia that I believe were after effects of that experience.

I have never heard voices nor experienced anything as severe as that before.

I'm fine now and I'm not on an antipsychotic.

I think my experience was more of a brief psychotic experience? Though it lasted a year long.

I don't think I have bp either.

I'm too old (33) to develop anything like that.
