Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression. Schizoaffective disorder shares symptoms with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and this can lead to misdiagnosis.
While there is no cure for schizoaffective disorder, symptoms often can be controlled with proper treatment. A person with schizoaffective disorder has severe changes in mood and some of the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thinking. Psychotic symptoms reflect the person's inability to tell what is real from what is imagined.
