Please how to be sure if I have schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder?

I was diagnosed as i have schizophrenia since 8 years. I took so so so many different medicines. I only felt good not bad one year through all this period. then I relapsed about last four years. so i stopped taking medicines about 1.5 year ago and really i do not feel big difference so i still do not want to take medicines. all my doctors said it is simple schizophrenia. they even never told me its type, but i read about schizo-affective last days and i suspect that i have its symptoms but i am not sure. please how to be sure?

The way to be sure, is to go to your psychiatrist and talk it over with him/her.

hi,
its best to rely on what your docs bring up,…
but you could always ask them what they think about it…

Only an MD can make a diagnosis.
