Bipolar disorder/anxiety/OCD by my psychiatrist
Schizoaffective disorder by my therapist
Throughout my life it’s always been between bipolar and Schizoaffective.
Now I’ve been diagnosed with both simultaneously.
It’s frustrating when they’re not on the same page. My therapist just talked with my psychiatrist to get the diagnoses on the same page.
Yes it is.
I may talk to my therapist about being on the same page as my psychiatrist.
Even my therapist admitted that the diagnosis given by the psychiatrist is what really counts.
See, I’m not so sure about that. The therapist usually sees you a lot more often. But I know psychiatrists have more training. I generally don’t trust psychiatrists opinions though because of my misdiagnosis of bpd.
Yeah and my therapist is highly qualified also.
She works in a psychiatric hospital and has done so for decades.
I tried getting my psychiatrist to get on the same page as my therapists SZA diagnosis and she wouldn’t do it.
So now I may ask my therapist to get on board with my psychiatrists bipolar diagnosis of me.
Or maybe it doesn’t really matter that much.
I don’t know.
Treatment is the same at least. They can be hard to tease apart, maybe your psychiatrist has never seen you psychotic while your mood was stable
No she never has.
Thanks @Moon
I had the diagnosis of psychosis nos and psychotic depression then paranoid schizophrenia x
Ptsd, adhd, schizoid.
As a teen they tried putting me down as bipolar, which I got out of, because I’m not. I’ve also had psychiatrists think I’m sz, but I never saw em long enough for them to stick it to me.
Haven’t seen another in ten years, but I’m def currently psychotic.
Just sz, but the way my illness waxes and wanes from temp illness to long remission means it could be a new type of psychosis/sz.

My first diagnosis was nonspecific psychotic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Then it changed to major depression with psychotic features and ptsd. The it changed to my final diagnoses which is schizoaffective bipolar type and ptsd.
I still feel weird that I’m classified as bipolar type because I don’t feel like I have been manic before. Maybe hypomanic if even. I did have periods of time while psychotic where I felt immensely excited like something huge was going to happen. But I mean I feel like that is a natural feeling when you think there is some massive otherworldly plot involving you at the center of it. So I’m not sure. I feel like I would identify more with schizoaffective depressive type.
I was also diagnosed with narcolepsy when I was 21 I think. That’s the biggest issue I still struggle with because I keep gaining tolerance to meds and caffeiene. The mental health stuff is controlled for the most part.
Diagnosed with sz only but I suspect I have ADHD.
