Bipolar and schizophrenia are two very different things. Bipolar is a mood disorder, and schizophrenia is a loss of reality. They can occur together because they are not mutually exclusive.
I think that some people say they’re bipolar when they have perfectly normal mood swings, or because they don’t know the difference between bipolar and depression, and bipolar ‘sounds better’.
But I think that people genuinely diagnosed with bipolar disorder really do have it – I am one of them, and it’s pretty much ruined my life.
