I need some clarity here. My parents were diagnosed with schiz. With me, I seem to have a confusing set of symptoms. My pdoc insists I have schizoaffective bp type and I do agree with bipolar, but I only get psychosis during manic episodes so would that be bp 1 instead? Then there is the fact I've been ill since I was a child, I mean severely ill... My pdoc said I just developed my mental illness as a child but I had symptoms that resembled ADHD and the autism spectrum. But would a childhood mental illness look like that? Ans I know symptoms of different disorders overlap, I need more info on schiz vs. autism, childhood bp vs. ADHD, etc...
