Other conditions in which affective symptoms are superimposed on a pre-existing schizophrenic illness, or co-exist or alternate with persistent delusional disorders of other kinds, are classified under F20-F29. Mood- incongruent psychotic symptoms in affective disorders do not justify a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder.From F25 Schizoaffective disorders
