I was diagnosed schizoaffective after my first manic episode on active duty in the marines I was put on temporary retirement and kept that diagnosis for 4 years through several major depressions then after following my condition for those 4 years and having another mania I was correctly diagnosed Bipolar finally I worked for 25 years in the psych field, gained 2 degrees then my condition got severe Bipolar 1 and I was permanently retired from the marines and social security. This year they made me totally and permanently disabled and permanently retired, early diagnosis is difficult without some history of extreme manias and depressions.
