Bipolar and schizophrenia overlap considerably. In my life, for instance, I've been diagnosed by different doctors as different flavors of schizophrenia and then as bipolar I. A lot of it is pure BS if you ask me, but whatever.
Anyway, now that I'm "bipolar," I will say that there's something aside from/in addition to depression that can cause problems. You also have to watch out for the meds--they're great when dosed appropriately, but heavy medication, crazy cocktails, etc. will slow you down and might cause cognitive and mood problems.
