What is Schizoaffective Disorder?
Schizoaffective disorder is a complex mental condition with psychotic characteristics (hallucinations or delusions) accompanied by mood responses (major depression or mania). The affective element relates to the horrific changes in the mood that take place with the disease.
Individuals may experience:
- Hallucinatory Delusions or Fixed Delusions
- Negotiations or ramblings to and from (often not directed anywhere or to a specific point)
- Depressive symptoms: Ages of sadness (inedible); worthlessness, lack of energy.
- Manic periods: hyperactivity, hyperthinking, hyperverbalizing, much risky behavior
The symptoms of the schizoaffective disorder are similar to the symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders and it becomes difficult to diagnose a case of schizoaffective disorder. Usually, there is a need for psychotic symptoms to be dissociated for some time from the mood episodes also the symptoms of mood to be present in the majority of the period of the pathological process.
