Can someone have schizophrenia and bilpolar at the same time?

Hmm!: I have seen people who have carried both diagnoses. I have not diagnosed anyone with both conditions. Although rare, i might consider schizoaffective disorder a possibility depending on the symptoms.

Schizoaffective: Schizoaffective disorder is an extremely serious illness that can be thought of as a combination of schizophrenic (psychosis) and bipolar disorder (the old term being manic depression) with involves extreme mood swings.
