Moving from bi-polar to schizophrenia?

Auditory hallucinations are a hallmark symptom of schizophrenia, and social withdrawal is another symptom of the disorder. Even though it doesn't sound like you have all of the symptoms of schizophrenia, you might have enough symptoms to qualify for a diagnosis of either schizophrenia or a related disorder. Oftentimes, individuals who have both mood disorder symptoms and psychotic symptoms end up getting diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder with psychotic features. I would seek help with a psychiatrist as quickly as you can. Generally speaking, early treatment of a psychotic disorder yields better results.
