Quote From: tmd977What is the difference between bipolar and schizophrenia? I was surprised to learn from yesterday's show that the gentleman heard voices...I always thought this symptom was related to schizophrenia. 
 
Thanks in advance for your response. 
I cant give you a specific difference. I do know that many BP patients carry a duel diagnosis. Im Bipolar(have no clue what number) on one axsis and on a second axsis Im Post tramatic stress, on a third Im clinically depressed......SADD and OC so it gets very complicated. I'll give you a few sites that will help you more specifically.
