Hello!

Back when I was hospitalized, I had already been diagnosed with bipolar type II and the psych I was seeing was evaluating me for schizoaffective disorder. (This is all just my own personal experiences).

It means when a mood disorder and schizophrenia are present. I also think (not for sure) there are two types, bipolar type and the depressive type. (Not sure someone please correct me if I am wrong). Sometimes there are comorbid things going on too, like substance abuse.

I was prescribed medications (mood stabilzers and antidepressants).

I had to live with my mom for a while after an episode and being hospitalized. I still suffer and have problems with it but I try to take it day by day. When do you go back to the doctor?
