It was my old pdoc (who was a bit of a crock, honestly) that diagnosed me and my current pdoc agreed. TBH, I don't understand it entirely. I've had it explained that since I have persistant psychotic symtoms outside of my episodes, I have schizoeffective disorder. My treatment changed only because of a new pdoc but, we are constantly trying new, often more potent anti-psychotics. I am doing better with my new cocktail.

It is certainly worth a discussion with your pdoc.
