Clinical Diagnosis: There's no test that diagnoses your condition. The key to diagnosis is a good psychiatric evaluation that considers all possible explanations for your symptoms. Sometimes psychological testing can help support a diagnosis, but the diagnosis is always on the basis of clinical judgment.

Tests? no Help? yes!: Have you been diagnosed? Mostly, this fairly rare diagnosis is made by listening to the persons description. Talk with the doctor about how they came to this conclusion and your thoughts/feelings about it. Many, if not most mental/emotional disorders are lacking objective, biologically based definitive tests. It makes it hard for you and the doctor - so work together on both diagnosis & treatment.

Eval: Schizoaffective DO and/or bipolar DO can be evaluated for by a seasoned psychiatrist. There's no real testing involved.
