Can I have panic disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder?
Okay. I know it sounds weird. I was diagnosed with panic disorder but looking back on my case, doctors think they misdiagnosed me. Here are my symptoms:
-Massive mood swings: from comfortable to angry to sad in about 5 minutes.
-Hearing voices and hallucinations but verbal not physical
-I have these attacks where I get really stressed and I freak out and then I act like the things above.
Weird. I only hear voices or get massive mood swings when I am having my "panic attacks".

Yep! I do. With schizophrenia & bipolar you would have the diagnosis of schizo-affective disorder instead (affective simply means that you have mood disorder as well, and your case it would be bipolar).
To "MS KITTY": there is what’s call rapid cycling bipolar

my fiance have panic attacks and he don’t hear voices or get massive mood swings. so it sound like you may have schizophrenia or bipolar just continue talking to your doctor about it.
Psychosis is not unheard of in really bad panic attacks….. I think it’d just your anxiety getting to you. Bipolar is not about rapidly changing emotions, it is about having very long periods of deep depression then long periods of mania…. quickly switching emotions is just having emotions. Schizophrenics have hallucinations all the time… not just during panic…. Seriously it’s just the panic. I had a panic attack that had me in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack…… The more you let the panic take over the worse it gets. Now when I have a panic attack I know what it is and I sit still and ty to relax and remind myself that it’s just adrenaline running through my body… nothing to be afraid of, just breath deep until the adrenaline dissipates. It takes a lot of practice and if the panic "latches onto something" then it’s hard to pull out of it, but with practice you can get control of it before it spirals out of control……
There is a possibility that they are all related to nutrition. Try to take good supplements of minerals and multi vitamins.
