What is Schizoaffective Disorder?
Schizoaffective means that a schizophrenic does not have just schizophrenia but they have a mood disorder like bipolar in addition to schizophrenia. Schizophrenia causes hallucinations and delusions that occur naturally in your brain. To all the anti-Western medicine people: I need my medication and I need my insulin. I’m a fragile person. Schizoaffective requires that the sufferer take medication just to be able to sleep at night. Medication treats delusions, as well as mood swings. Mania leads to depression in a schizoaffective person. Schizoaffectives can be misdiagnosed as only having schizophrenia. Taking medication is better than having continual, disorganized thoughts. If they have schizoaffective-related depression they will feel sad or worthless, although mania causes risky behavior, including other symptoms of mania.
