Here is a short documentary (23:43) about a man's recovery from Schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is similar to schizophrenia, but with a mood component. It seems to be a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The documentary is a wonderful and honest view of the struggles and symptoms of this disorder, as well as a glimmer of hope from someone who has experienced recovery himself.

You are definitely not the only one with this combination. I've been fighting schizoaffective and bi-polar since I was 16 and am 43 now. It's never easy when you have an episode, especially when the time you need help the most is the time when you are least likely to reach out for help. Keep fighting the good fight!
