I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. There are some things that are going on that lead me to believe I may be schizoaffective instead. I am taking risperdal for my symptoms.

I have short depressive episodes which usually last a half a day to a whole day. There episodes are terrible, they come out of nowhere and I get very suicidal very quickly. I also had periods where I am angry for no reason and I feel very hostile. Sometimes when I am trying to sleep I have too many thoughts in my head and it takes hours before I can get to sleep.I feel like I am on a roller coaster with my emotions.

I am seeing my therapist tomorrow. I will tell her about these emotions I am having and schedule an appointment with the pdoc. I can't go on like this, something has to be done, and soon. I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I go tomorrow. Does it sound like schizoaffective to you?
