1)Do people who have Schizoaffective disorder have a lot of paranoia about totally insane things like aliens coming to abduct them all the time (which is the kind of paranoia I usually have)? it really depends on the person. everyones experience differs. i personally dont have paranoias like this but more of a feeling that people are purposely trying to destroy me

2)Do people who have Schizoaffective Disorder talk to themselves (or mumble under their breath) a lot especially right before they go to sleep (because I do that like every night and no matter what medication I'm on it never goes away)?everyone mumbles and talks to themselves from time. i see a lot of people that do that. doesnt mean schizoaffective disorder.

Do people who have Schizoaffective Disorder hear voices/see things a lot? And does it get worse as they get older?again it depends on the person. most do have some form of auditory/visual hallucinations. but its treatable with the right meds. and yes it could get worse as it gets older but that is usually in the cases of non compliance with treatment although not always. some people have gone their life unmedicated and been fine, others not so much. best thing you can do for yourself is be compliant with your docs recommendations. that is what i have done and i lead a pretty normal life despite being schizoaffective.
