My Journey with Schizoaffective Disorder: Misdiagnosis and Medication

I was recently diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I had been taking medication and seeing a psychiatrist for 6 years, who had diagnosed me with Bi-Polar type 2 and Major Depressive Disorder. His treatment caused me to have severe weight gain, so I stopped taking the medication, lost over 100lbs, but I was very sick. I finally started seeing a new psychiatrist who did a proper diagnosis, schizoaffective.
