What is the difference between bipolar and schizophrenia ?

Schizophrenia is abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. This is basically a personality disorder verus a mood order in BiPolar.

BiPolar- A mood disorder. You can go from mania to depression or have more depression than mania or visa versa.

With BiPolar or Manic Depression you suffer from extreme highs, the manic phase and then extreme depression. The depression can cause you to lose all self esteem, it can cause you to sleep a lot because of the lack of energy. It can cause you to lose interest in your friends and all of the things that you previously enjoyed. During the manic phase you have a huge amount of energy like being high, your mind races you may spend a lot of money, be promiscuous when you normally aren't, it can cause you to spend days and nights up.

Schizophrenia is much easier to diagnose as the person who suffers with that disease hears voices, sounds and sometimes has hallucinations. Each is a disease like heart disease or diabetes and requires a correct diagnosis from a psychiatrist and medication.

The main difference is that even though people with bipolar can have hallucinations schizo is is not associated with manic or hypo-manic phases.

bipolar -
depression ,increased energy extream irritability, little sleep,poor judgment, racing thoughts, extream spending , euphoric mood, anger outburst, guilt, lack of intrest,sadness, emptiness, changes in wieght and appetite and social isolation (and anything else that comes with depression)

schizo - hallucinations delusions, lack of ability to make plans, problems paying attention, lack of memory , trouble organizing, incoherent speech, anger outburst, lack of emotion, social isolation, paranoia, loss of motivation



Here are some links and from what I know they both can display depressive symptoms that is where they can over lap and some people who have bipolar can also dispay hallucinations and they both can have angry out burst. Hope this helps.

Bipolar is a mood disorder. Severe mood swings, from depression to extreme happiness (happier than they appear to have reason for).

Schizophrenia is a personality disorder. Sometimes they even have multiple personalities, but not always,

well bi polar means that you are both manic with the feeling you can do all and times that you can not do anything. schizophrenia is when you hear voices that are not there. you sometimes think that others are talking about you that is paranoid schizophrenia.

last i checked they were different
bipolar is mood swings mainly. like dramatic mood swings, from high to low real fast.
and schizophrenia is multiple personalities.
thats all i really know.
hope i helped.

Why don't you google this topic, because for the level of detail you want, yahoo answers won't even let a person post that much (there is a limit on how long your answer can be).

bi polar your mood swings all the time and unexpectedly
schizophrenia, you can see and hear things that arent there and such

schizophrenia causes you to see, hear, experience, perceive things that aren't there
