I Have ADD And Schizoaffective Disorders, Am I Going To Right Path ?
Would like to know if schizoaffective symptoms could be misdiagnosed?? I have now been diagnosed with adult ADD, and have been off antipychiotic and antidepressent meds for several years. After getting off those medications, symptoms of ADD became very prevelant,and psychotic symptoms totally disappeared with no return. I am female, aged 65.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
It is very likely that schizoaffective sympyoms can be misdiagnosed if you have adult ADD.
Even if you have ADD in the child hood it is remains undiagnosed.
This is latest research so it can be taken as psychotic symptoms and going treatment.
Now nothing to worry,treatment is possible and consult psychiatrist and go for the treatment.
Ok and bye.
