I actually don't know for sure, but I think to have a diagnosis of schizoaffective you have to have had at least two psychotic episodes.

Pretty sure you have to have psychotic episodes outside of a mood episode.

Psychotic episode outside of mania for 2 weeks. Also possibly some of the other symptoms of schizophrenia like negative symptoms.

My psychotic thoughts don't care if I'm manic, depressed or stable. That's why I'm schizoaffective
