I find it interesting that many of the symptoms of these disorders overlap and can present similarly. The DSM lists them as distinct diagnoses, but I'm not so sure that's the case. Bipolar with psychosis can look like schizoaffective for example.

Franz, how long have you seen this pdoc?

My diagnosis has been up in the air for a while. I was given the advice to try not to focus on that as much as whether or not the treatment I am receiving is effective. That helped a little.
Thanks for this!
