People suffering from schizoaffective disorder experience a chronic roller-coaster ride of symptoms and problems that may be more difficult to cope with than either of its parent diseases, schizophrenia or affective disorders (formerly known as mood disorders). Researchers have identified two subtypes of schizoaffective disorder: bipolar type and depressive type. Bipolar type is associated with the presence of manic or mixed episodes. Such episodes bring on sudden elation, euphoria, or extreme irritability to the point of serious impairment. Depressive type is associated with major depressive episodes. Depressive episodes are often characterized by feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness or indifference, an inability to concentrate or remember details, and thoughts of death or suicide attempts. Like schizophrenia and affective disorders, schizoaffective disorder is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain's neurotransmitters.

Symptoms of mood disorder include very low or very high mood with sleep disturbances, changes in energy and appetite, disrupted concentration, and generally poor daily function. Schizoaffective illness features a close interconnection between these 2 sets of symptoms. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: People with this condition often seek treatment for problems with mood, daily function or intrusive thoughts. To be diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a person must experience psychotic symptoms - but normal mood - for at least 2 weeks. The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but factors that affect the development of both psychosis and mood disorders may play a role. These factors may include a strong genetic component and other biochemical factors.

Schizoaffective Disorder ? Home Bipolar Disorder News WebSite News Bipolar Disorder ... Contact Us Q: Schizoaffective Disorder? I was dx'd with bp1 in November this year. I am taking a low dose (225 mg.) of lithium along with wellbutrin (300 mg.) and neurontin (1200 mg.) and have felt almost well. My problem is that I'm afraid I am hallucinating and suffering from schizoaffective disorder. For example, I felt someone tap my shoulder at a concert (people were sitting behind me, but when I looked back, they were looking ahead at the stage); the next day I thought I heard my cat meowing from behind my closed bathroom door (the cat was sleeping in the bedroom); and recently when sitting at my desk upstairs at night, I hear what sounds like muffled voices eminating from downstairs. Do these sound like hallucinations, or do you suppose there is some actual explanation for each occurrence? The stress of thinking I have hallucinated or am about to is causing a tremendous amount of depression and anxiety. Thanks for your help, Katie Hello Katie You've learned well, recognizing that some would consider "schizoaffective" disorder on the basis of symptoms like this. However, these are rather unusual sensations you're describing. Some but not all doc's would be triggered by these symptoms to get a brain scan (CT or MRI) because of their atypical nature. Usually "auditory hallucinations" in psychosis are rather like one's own thoughts heard spoken by a voice, sometimes known, sometimes not.
