Hi.. I was just diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder depressive type a few months ago and I was wondering if it was a progressive illness that is going to get worse as I get older... or if I keep taking my meds will my condition remain stable?
Thanks Melissa |

As long as you're on the right meds, your condition should stay stable. However, if you go off your meds it is likely that each episode will be worse and harder to treat than the last.

theres not much evidence schizoaffective worsens over time.
but not taking medication increases the risk it will get worse by a lot. |
