    Extractions: Previous Next ... I have experienced various symptoms of mental illness for most of my life. Even as a young child I had depression. I had my first manic episode when I was twenty, and at first thought it was a wonderful recovery after a year of severe depression. I was diagnosed as schizoaffective when I was 21. I'm 38 now, so I have lived with the diagnosis for 17 years. I expect (and have been emphatically told by my doctors) that I'm going to have to take medication for it for the rest of my life. I have also had disturbed sleeping patterns as long as I can remember - one reason I'm a software consultant is that I can keep irregular hours. That's a primary reason why I went into software engineering at all when I left school - I did not think my sleeping habits would allow me to hold a real job for any length of time. Even with the flexibility most programmers have, I don't think the hours I keep now would be tolerated by many employers. I left Caltech when my illness got really bad at the age of 20. I eventually transferred to

    Extractions: back Schizoaffective Disorder What is Schizoaffective Disorder? Some psychiatric disorders are very difficult to diagnose accurately. One of the most confusing conditions is schizoaffective disorder. This relatively rare disorder is defined as "the presence of psychotic symptoms in the absence of mood changes for at least two weeks in a patient who has a mood disorder." The diagnosis is used when an individual does not fit diagnostic standards for either schizophrenia or "affective" (mood) disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression). Some people may have symptoms of both a depressive disorder and schizophrenia at the same time, or they may have symptoms of schizophrenia without mood symptoms. Many individuals with schizoaffective disorder are originally diagnosed with manic depression. If the person experiences delusions or hallucinations that go away in less than two weeks when the mood is "normal," bipolar disorder may be the proper diagnosis. Someone who experiences psychosis for three or four weeks while in a manic phase does not have schizoaffective disorder. However, if delusions or hallucinations continue after the mood has stabilized and are accompanied by other symptoms of schizophrenia such as catatonia, paranoia, bizarre behavior, or thought disorders, a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder may be appropriate. Accurate diagnosis is easier once the acute psychotic episode is under control.

    Extractions: Further reading ‘Mild mania is known as hypomania, and usually does feel quite pleasant and can be fairly easy to live with. One has boundless energy, feels little need for sleep, is creatively inspired, talkative and is often taken to be an unusually attractive person.’ ‘Full-blown manic is frightening and most unpleasant … I can’t hold any particular train of thought for more than a few seconds. I can’t speak in complete sentences.’ Michael David Crawford It used to be thought that schizoaffective disorder wasn’t a condition in its own right, but ‘the unlucky coincidence of two different diseases’. This booklet looks at the symptoms, how doctors make a diagnosis, what treatments are available and what you can do yourself.
