Hi Judy.

> You are too funny.

So I've been told.

> What is the screening for schizoaffective disorder entail? When I was 19 and hospitalized for (what now is being labelled psychotic mania) I was dxed shizophrenic, which I understand to be fairly common. I'm confused about the whole schizoaffective thing anyway- psychoses between mood episodes? What if you're always cycling, how could they dx that? Thank you- Judy

Your descriptions of a combination of auditory hallucinations and bipolar characteristics are reminiscent of schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is its own entity. In other words, it is a single disorder rather than two separate disorders combined (comorbid presentation). If you have never heard of it, then perhaps this possibility was discounted by your physicians without verbalizing their diagnostic processes to you. However, if this has not been the case, in my opinion, it should be considered as a possible diagnosis. It would explain why your current treatments are inadequate.

The following description may be outdated, but it will certainly give you an idea if you think it should be pursued.

I wish for you only good things.
