"The first cardinal decision-making guideline in the DSM-5 diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, according to the DSM-5 workgroup, is that when psychotic symptoms occur during a mood episode of depression, mania, hypomania, or mixed episode, the DSM-5 indicates that the diagnosis must be either psychotic depression or psychotic bipolar disorder.[2] Only when a psychotic condition lasts two-weeks continuously or longer without mood symptoms, is the diagnosis either schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder."
