Ok, for the past two years i have been constantly shifting between major depression, mania, dysphoric mania and mixed states. I felt normal back in 2006, and since then i have forgotten everything.
I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 a year ago.
So I have all the symptoms of schizophrenia when I am manic and depressed, but i don't know if i feel this way when I am normal, because its been a long time since i was normal and stable. So I am not sure if I have schizoaffective disorder.
I went to the doc for the first time in a year and this doctor diagnosed me with bipolar 1 too. I wanted to bring up schizoaffective disorder to the doctor, but how will he diagnose it?
Will he tell me to take bipolar meds till i become normal and then see if the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder continue?
