First of all, if you have been diagnosed with these disorders, you should see a specialist to get onto medications that will help you manage the symptoms. School work AND your personal and professional (working) life will be affected most drestically.

Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizoaffective disorder symptoms look like a mixture of two kinds of major mental illnesses that are usually thought to run in different families, involve different brain mechanisms, develop in different ways, and respond to different treatments: mood (affective) disorders and schizophrenia.

Symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder
The two major mood disorders are unipolar depression and bipolar or manic-depressive illness.
Seriously depressed people:
feel constantly sad and fatigued
are indecisive and unable to concentrate
complain of various physical symptoms
have lost interest in everyday activities
sleep and eat too little or too much
may have recurrent thoughts of death and suicide

People experiencing a manic mood are:
suffering from sleeplessness.
agitated and distractible.
susceptible to buying sprees; indiscreet sexual advances, and foolish investments.
compulsively talkative.
convinced of their own inflated importance.
prone to cheerfulness turning to irritability, paranoia, and rage.


People with chronic schizophrenia:
appear apathetic.
have limited speech.
may suffer from hallucinations and delusions.
are emotionally unresponsive.
have confused thinking.
perplex others with their strange behavior and inappropriate emotional reactions.

Need to go to the doctor,so they can give you something for this. Since you said that you already have,I'm sure that he or she prescribed something right. This,should bring up the grades...good luck.
well I'm not sure, but hang on a sec, I gotta ask my other self, Nope, you're cool
The lady just said, it, all. Follow her advice. I know a 34 yr. old with the exact same illnesses. He has to keep his medications balanced with the supervision of his psychiatrist. That's very important. Don't play games with the medications. They must be taken, responsibly, everyday.And, scheduled visits with your doctor. The man, I spoke of, runs a large apt. complex and does well. Take Charge & become that great Success Story with a degree. The pride of your success at graduation will fill the remainder of your Life with confidence and selfesteem. Best Wishes for your Success. Only You can do it.
The biggest issue you're going to have at college with bipolar is your focus. Your mind is probably going to wander a lot. That's going to be a tough one. I know because I'm bipolar.
You should talk to your Doctor more about it and find out what you can do.
