schizo-affective disorder??

[elizabeth5]

Has anyone out there been diagnosed with this disorder?

I haven't been diagnosed as schizo-affective, but i think it's in the same "box" as bipolar. Is that when ur depressed or in a manic episode and u experience hallucinations? I heard a voice once and saw light around my friend. I'm still very unsure about that experience to this day.

I have been bipolar in the past, i was actually cyclic, but it was sooooo sped up. They reckon bipolar's more intense when the episodes go up and down for a few weeks at a time. But from someone who's had both "types", i reckon the most intense and extreme one for me was the one on speed.
