Schizoaffective disorder is a serious mental illness that has features of two different conditions, schizophrenia and an affective (mood) disorder, either major depression or bipolar disorder.
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality and relates to others. Depression is an illness that is marked by feelings of sadness, worthlessness or hopelessness, as well as problems concentrating and remembering details. Bipolar disorder is characterized by cycling mood changes, including severe highs (mania) and lows (depression).
Schizoaffective disorder is a life-long illness that can impact all areas of daily living, including work or school, social contacts and relationships. Most people with this illness have periodic episodes, called relapses, when their symptoms surface. While there is no cure for schizoaffective disorder, symptoms often can be controlled with proper treatment.
A person with schizoaffective disorder has severe changes in mood and some of the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thinking. Psychotic symptoms reflect the person's inability to tell what is real from what is imagined. Symptoms of schizoaffective disorder may vary greatly from one person to the next and may be mild or severe. Symptoms may include:
Depression
* Poor appetite
* Weight loss or gain
* Changes in sleeping patterns (sleeping very little or a lot)
* Agitation (excessive restlessness)
* Lack of energy
* Loss of interest in usual activities
* Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness
* Guilt or self-blame
* Inability to think or concentrate
* Thoughts of death or suicide
Mania
* Increased activity, including work, social and sexual activity
* Increased and/or rapid talking
* Rapid or racing thoughts
* Little need for sleep
* Agitation
* Inflated self-esteem
* Distractibility
* Self-destructive or dangerous behavior (such as going on spending sprees, driving recklessly or having unsafe sex)
Schizophrenia
* Delusions (strange beliefs that are not based in reality and that the person refuses to give up, even when presented with factual information)
* Hallucinations (the perception of sensations that aren't real, such as hearing voices)
* Disorganized thinking
* Odd or unusual behavior
* Slow movements or total immobility
* Lack of emotion in facial expression and speech
* Poor motivation
* Problems with speech and communication
