Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania or depression. This requires a careful and integrated treatment approach, which our medical team is experienced in providing.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• An uninterrupted period of illness during which there is a major mood episode (major depressive or manic) concurrent with the primary symptoms of schizophrenia.
• Delusions or hallucinations for 2 or more weeks in the absence of a major mood episode during the lifetime duration of the illness.
• Symptoms that meet criteria for a major mood episode are present for the majority of the total duration of the active and residual portions of the illness.
