Manic Depressive illness and Schizophrenia are confused very often. Schizophrenia tends to be a disorder of perception of reality whereas bipolar disorder is a disorder of emotion.
Obviously those two diseases can't be simplified like that. There is so much more that goes into the human condition beyond the criteria of the DSM that it's best not to think about your diagnosis at all
