What’s the difference between schizoaffective disorder, depressive type and just having schizophrenia with depression. Aren’t those equal?

Many of you have just schizophrenia with depression, yes?

2

With schizoaffective disorder - depressive type, the depression can get pretty intense.

Schizophrenia with some depression - the depressive episodes are rather mild or milder than schizoaffective disorder depressive type.

Its up in the air really and up to the pdoc.

With schizoaffective- depressed/bipolar/mixed type the mood element has to be present 50% or more of the time. If not it’s schizophrenia with depression or schizophrenia with manic features.

I keep telling my doc I’m not bipolar. Not one symptom, save for depression sometimes. Last week she did agree with me, but I still have a diagnosis of schizoaffective. I suppose the diagnosis doesn’t matter anyway. It’s the getting better.
