What are the Symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder? During the depressed state the following symptoms may be present: poor appetite, weight loss, insomnia, agitation, general slowing down, loss of interest in usual activities, lack of energy or fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, self-reproach, guilt, inability to think or concentrate, or thoughts of death or suicide.

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.

   http://www.spcsb.org/articles/schizoaffective.html
   
   Extractions: Schizoaffective Disorder is an often debilitating mental illness characterized by symptoms of a thought disorder (hallucinations and/or irrational thinking) and a mood disorder (depression or manic activity). This illness may present a variety of symptoms from each category, and symptoms may be mild or severe. For some general thoughts on dealing with a loved one's diagnosis of a mental illness such as schizoaffective disorder, please see our "Mental Illness - Information for Families" page. Schizoaffective Disorder may be difficult to treat, as the symptoms of the thought disorder are typically treated with different medications than the symptoms of depression or mania. Arriving at the proper balance of medication is often complex and may take time. This can be frustrating to the mentally ill person, as well as to the family and friends. If you have questions, feel free to talk to your psychiatrist about the medication regimen that is being used, and ask questions about how and why medications are being prescribed. In terms of treatment approaches, research to date suggests that the most effective treatment for schizoaffective disorder is a continuum of care model, which has a focus on Social Rehabilitation. The Social Rehabilitation Model is aimed at assisting the diagnosed client with learning the skills necessary to live an independent life style. This includes medication management, independent living skills, socialization and vocational and a variety of other support systems.

   Extractions: Zomaril, which has an antagonistic activity on a wide spectrum of brain receptors for dopamine and serotonin, with preferential affinity for 5HT2A serotonin receptors in humans, had previously shown activity against both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as a low liability for inducing extrapyramidal symptoms (movement disorders) in Phase II clinical trials. Analysis of the ILP3000 results indicates that Zomaril statistically significantly reduced the symptoms of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and confirmed the excellent tolerability profile, including the lack of extrapyramidal symptoms.

    Single page listing of medical and behavioral treatments of the disorder.  
    http://www.mentalhealth.com/rx/p23-ps05.html
    
    Extractions: Treatment Phillip W. Long, M.D. Both drug and psychosocial therapies are necessary to successfully treat schizoaffective disorder. Because of the unemployment, poverty, and homelessness that often complicates schizoaffective disorder, drug therapy alone usually is insufficient. Drug therapy usually can stop the patient's psychosis, but often only social and occupational rehabilitation therapies can overcome the associated unemployment, poverty and homelessness. Recovering from schizoaffective disorder is an extremely lonely experience, and these patients require all the support that their families, friends, and communities can provide. Schizoaffective disorder appears to be a combination of a thought disorder, mood disorder, and anxiety disorder. Thus the medical management of schizoaffective disorder oftens requires a combination of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and antianxiety medication. Unfortunately, after the first year of treatment, only a minority of schizoaffective outpatients remain on their oral medications. Thus long-acting, depot antipsychotic medications that last 2-4 weeks between injections (e.g., depot haloperidol, pipotiazine, or fluphenazine) usually are required to overcome this noncompliance problem. Treatment of an acutely psychotic patient often requires psychiatric hospitalization. The presence of adequate family or social supports will often shorten the length of this hospitalization, or permit the psychotic patient to be treated solely on an outpatient basis.
