so in brief p.d==> its schizophrenic symptoms but UP TO A MONTH of duration. schizoaffective==> is schizophrenia (means that is psychotic symptoms MORE THAN 6 MONTHS) + depression / hypomania / mania far more challenging i think is differentiating schizoaffective VS bipolar with psychotic symptoms. so be sure to know how to differentiate that also. hope it helps
