Schizoaffective Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition that combines symptoms of a mood disorder—such as depression or a phase of elation—with psychotic symptoms, such as disturbances in the way reality is perceived or interpreted.
How it presents: the mood and psychotic symptoms may appear together or at different times, which affects the person's mood, thinking, and daily life.
When to seek help? An evaluation is helpful when marked mood changes appear along with ideas or perceptions that stray from reality and affect everyday functioning.
Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist is the professional who evaluates and supports this diagnosis, in collaboration with the psychologist during the process. Reaching out to a mental health professional makes it possible to understand what is happening and build a support plan.
