How do you know if you have schizoaffective or schizophrenia?
Hi!
The way it was explained to me when I got my diagnosis was that schizophrenia and schizoaffective are very close, but that schizoaffective is characterized with a mood element (depression or bipolar disorder) as well as the psychotic symptoms that are in schizophrenia, making schizoaffective something of a package deal.
That being the big difference, I think thats where you ought to look if you're trying to discern one from the other.
