9 years ago, I was diagnosed
with schizoaffective by my
first psychiatrist. The second one diagnosed me with undifferentiated, just as my third one.
Now the fourth one with paranoid but I have mood swings and I suspect schizoaffective is the right diagnosis for me. What do you think?
Do your moods fluctuate?

Symptoms change over time

That’s true. So maybe my symptoms change over time

But if symptoms change, then undifferentiated was the correct diagnosis.
Undifferentiated means many symptoms from various subtypes.

… possibly. You can have many symptoms but the dominant element of the psychosis the patient present with whether disorganization (hebephrdnia), paranoid, or whatever, but psychiatry is moving away from that system it seems and just using a general diagnosis of schizophrenia now

Yes. At least in DSM. In ICD-10 the types still exist. Anyway

Psychiatry is soft science a specific diagnosis is not technically accurate anyway. There is no reason to have exactness as the treatments are pretty much just dosing with aps.

I agree with frenetic. I think the labels are sort of absurd. Psychiatrists just systematically adjust medication testing to see what will work.

My family says my mood is always exactly the same. My Dr diagnosed me with sza bipolar type. Not sure why.

Sza is schizophrenia and a mood disorder either depression or bipolar
If you ask me I think the vast majority if not all schizophrenia has severe depression and possibly mania
I’ve never heard of a person with schizophrenia NOT become depressed
