It sounds interesting, though I'm sure having the disorder is far from a walk in the park. I'm just curious to know more, just for personal edification.
Thanks.  |
Supanova did a great job of describing it! To add to that, schizoaffective means that a person has both mood symptoms and psychotic symptoms, and that the psychotic symptoms occur both within the mood episodes AND outside of them. There's a bipolar type, in which the mood symptoms are both mania and depression, and then there's also a depressive type, in which the mood symptoms are those of depression. Thanks for your interest! Let me know if you have any other questions!
All the Best,
Hope
