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.
To be diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, you must have psychotic symptoms during a period of normal mood for at least 2 weeks. The combination of psychotic and mood symptoms in schizoaffective disorder can be seen in other illnesses, such as bipolar disorder.
