I would hesitate to guess which diagnosis is more appropriate but I can tell you the difference between them.
A schizoaffective disorder is where someone meets the criteria for Schizophrenia AND a mood disorder (such as depression, mania or mixed episodes NB: the clinical definitions not just a depressed mood).
Schizophrenia is where there are persistant delusions, hallucinations, disorganised behaviour and negative affect (ie flattened emotional response). There are other criteria as well however they are the primary.
Major Depressive Episode mood-incongruent psychotic features is essentially depression coupled with delusions/hallucinations not related to depression/punishment/nihilism etc such as persecution.
I major factor here in distinguishing between them is the extent and severity of the delusions as well as the time that this has been occuring for.
Either way, dont stress too much! There is a lot of treatment options and some good success’, find a therapist that you can trust and feel that they really know what they are doing and stick with it.
Hope it helps.
