Yeah, so the difference is schizoaffective can have symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions and hallucinations, but also bipolar or like mood type disorder diagnoses.
Not that there's a right or wrong, but somebody who's struggling with bipolar disorder is not the same thing.
We know that a very high percentage of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders have anosognosia. A lot of people with bipolar disorder have anosognosia as well. And so when someone lacks insight, of course, they're not going to initiate treatment or they're not going to want to get help. And so this anosognosia really interferes with treatment.
I had some experience in this because I myself suffer with bipolar since the age of 17. So I've been medicated from age 30 when I was diagnosed after my two sons were born and have stayed on medications gratefully because I know how much they work. When my sons were born, I was... watching out to see if they may show symptoms and signs.
