I have been treated for bipolar for years. Then they added "with psychotic features."
this most recent hospitalization when I was discharged and the paper did not say bipolar. instead it is schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. my psychologist told me the same thing a long time ago. I guess its final what I have now.

Welcome to the forum! I've been hanging around here lately because I have CPTSD with psychosis and I've found this group to be very supportive.

Can anyone explain to me the difference between bp 1 with psychotic features and schizoaffective with bipolar features? Aren't they just different names for the same thing?

Well for example, I am stressed but not necessarily depressed but im having hallucinations. my psyd is worried about me. if I had bp w/psychotic features I would be in a mood episode too. its the defining difference from my understanding. sza is having this type of symptoms but not always having them in a mood episode. a true episode not just 1 or 2 days of feeling up or down.
