What Is Schizoaffective Disorder?

What Is Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizoaffective disorder is a diagnostic concept that recognizes that some people appear to have characteristics of both a mood disorder and a psychotic disorder. It's a complicated concept because psychosis can often accompany mood disorders, and people with psychosis can often have disturbances of mood. Yet schizoaffective disorder might not be an appropriate diagnosis in these examples.
This lecture explains the history of the schizoaffective concept, spells out current diagnostic criteria, and discusses ongoing problems with how this condition is defined in the DSM-V.
This lecture was given at the February 2, 2021 meeting of the SZconsult learning community.
SZconsult is a free consultation + education service offered by Northeast Ohio Medical University. It’s open to any clinician who wants to learn more about schizophrenia-spectrum illness, or who wants to tap into the collective wisdom of the learning community to find answers to clinical problems.

I have Schizoaffectivedisorder Disorder. I've always had it. Was just misdiagnosed for years. Something important for Psychiatrist and I Psychologist to do instead of guessing diagnosis. Make sure to do a full Psychological evaluation. So we can be treated properly

[@troyesivanstan2525]

I have Schizoaffective Disorder. Thank you so much for this video explaining the disorder. I have had it my whole life but only got diagnosed when I was around 24. Thank you for this video.

This is my life experience : Intense panic attacks, clinical anxiety, major depressions, paranoia, tactile hallucination and auditory hallucination. I experienced a lot and it is difficult to live like this. I received a diagnosis of schidzoaffective disorder some 10 years ago during a psychosis that lasted about a month. The thing is, all these episodes happen when my life is out of control. Mainly when I think i womt be able to provide financially for myself. You see, my father lost everything when i was 7 or 8 years old. We went from very well off to poor. This was my trauma because of how it affected our familly life. Now my adult brain is affraid of being poor and the anxiety it causes me creates all these mental problems. Whats your trauma ? Maybe finding the source can help reduce the symptoms. All the best.

[@Robinson8491]

I agree on having the stress of not being able to provide for yourself. Ever since I have some savings my life has improved tenfold

[@sarawinta]

Poor doesn’t mean mental illness look at people worse off than you

When I saw 17yr-old I went to the. Hospital for an evaluation. This hospital had two functions it was a hospital half rehabilitation for drug users.

[@evilbarbie2160]

Having been misdiagnosed with this and drugged as such instead of Complex PTSD from scapegoating and narcissistic abuse, the drugs gave me suicidal thoughts, paranoia, and opened me up to further abuse cycles. i am disgusted with the psychiatric field. Worst drug pushers in the world. Those wearing the whit coats saying lets rewire your brain. Pure torture with no way of getting justice without further trauma. All i can do is hope there is a hell they go to and experience everything they've done to me.

I have schizoaffective bipolar type. I'm on disability. My meds have helped a ton, but I'm constantly paranoid that my psychiatrist is going to change my diagnosis, and I'll lose my disability insurance. If I don't have that insurance I can't afford my meds. Then I lose my mind again.

[@andrewphillips-hird3761]

When the positive symptoms are present for their 2 or more weeks without a major mood episode, are they typically accompanied by negative symptoms? If so, I'm half wondering if a schizoid state should count as a type of mood episode (with chronicity instead being referred to as part of a schizoid personality)

[@Boondocken]

Great video sir. Keep it up! Kind regards from the other side of the globe.

[@lorenacucalon7604]

After listening intently to this explanation, I still not know what schizoaffective disorder is.

[@terryolson2294]

It's schizophrenia and a mood disorder together.

[@elizabethantoine9652]

Says nothing

[@sabiofanteorozco7990]

Thank you for this brief video... and if it's not inevitable, please do not prescribe risperidone and magnesium valproic, because their secondary effect is to lose hair; it's better to be insane so far than to be bold °-°

[@kasonotis1431]

Entering(submersion 3 times with a short prayer and crossing yourself)in water springs of orthodox saints(which are near or in monasteries) give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, Tourette sindrom, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses before getting to the eucharisty that heals all soul illnesses. There are some springs of mother of mother of God that also heal all soul illnesses. Soul illnesses can be enherited or from sins. If you have diseases, bad luck, impotence, you can only have a discussion with the same person (with the purpose of making a relationship) or you can talk with nobody, etc. it can be from witch spellings. In the Zlătari church in Bucharest, every Wednesday at 17:00 it is read the akathist with untiying prayer to St. Cyprian and st. Justin against all sorcery charms and all demons deeds. This akathist can be ordered at any other orthodox church if you are baptized orthodox, you have to write on a paper your name as you were baptised also the name of the prayer to be read by the priest and the date when it should be read and give it to the person in charge, ordinarily he/she is located in the church at a special stand near the entrance.

I wish I never told a guy I had this cause he done nothing but bully me for it not cool he cause 2x impatient n 2x er for crises cause he is a bully

[@Andrew-88]

This guy is not explaining anything. I’m a confused and I live with it. I had a full on conversation with a woman during my last episode. The woman in question was explaining why I need to take precautions to protect my family. She was there but not physically. Lol. That’s my description of what this is. But I am starting to think maybe we have a gift into accessing another dimensions.

[@mkhan9764]

What a boring lecture!🥴😝🤷🏾‍♂️😇

[@KiLLED5639]

the man clearly said 0:26

[@Lillylee2599]

Sorry, but I got the feeling that people that have schizoaffective disorder are a pain in the ass to these doctors who are supposed to be treating us, not judging us. Also, that schizoaffective disorder is not a real disorder you either have bipolar or schizophrenia and to just review the diagnosis in a couple of years because in his mind schizoaffective disorder doesn't really exist.

[@moodybitch]

Very hard to follow a small postage stamp sized box of a person speaking about a subject that is important. It seems like I’m watching a business card instead of a lecture. I would appreciate subtitles if I’m not able to see the face of the person speaking.

[@littlewoodchopper2659]

I like seeing the info up there. It helps me follow.

It's like looking at a sugar cube from the other side of a football stadium
