Exploring the Similarities Between Bipolar and Schizophrenia

Did the professor say schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders? Because there is a difference between the two, with schizoaffective disorders more aligning with bipolar disorder than actual schizophrenia.

I’d be interested to hear what he had to say specifically is similar. I’ve got a masters in Counseling Psychology and have worked as a therapist. I would say all mental illness relates in that it can cause distress but specifically linking bipolar disorder and schizophrenia is odd to me, other than what Relhavent said

I think the only things that really overlap is that bipolar 1 can also have psychosis and both bipolar 1 and 2 tend to have disorganized thinking especially during a manic or hypo manic episode. It’s also known as flight of ideas.
