Home Low Graphics Site Home back Schizoaffective Disorder What is Schizoaffective Disorder? 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.

7. Schizoaffective Disorder - Information For Families Coping with a loved one's diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder what to do, what to expect, how to help. schizoaffective disorder is an often debilitating mental illness characterized by symptoms of a thought disorder http://www.spcsb.org/articles/schizoaffective.html

Schizoaffective Disorder - Information for Families by Vicki Koenig, PhD. and Jonathan Kessler, M.A., M.F.C.C. 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.

To print: Select File and then Print from your browser's menu Title: Zomaril Reduces Symptoms Of Schizophrenia And Schizoaffective Disorder URL: http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/14D45A.htm Doctor's Guide December 2, 1999 SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA December 2, 1999 Titan Pharmaceuticals announced encouraging results from preliminary analysis of study ILP3000, the first large scale, controlled Phase III study of the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug Zomaril (iloperidone) in the treatment of schizophrenia. 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. "We are encouraged by the results of this initial study," stated Dr. Joerg Reinhardt, head of Novartis Pharma Development. "We are well on track in our development of Zomaril as a novel, potential first line therapy for schizophrenia and psychotic disorders."
