Estimates suggest that as many as one in three people diagnosed with schizophrenia actually have schizoaffective disorder

Diagnosis is difficult because the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder are similar to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. For example, people who are severely depressed can sometimes suffer from hallucinations, while people coming out of acute schizophrenic episodes are prone to depression (post-psychotic depression). A long term history of the person is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
