Schizoaffective Disorder
SPOTLIGHT ON schizoaffective disorder GENETICS and PREVALANCE There is very little evidence to suggest that schizoaffective disorder is a genetic disorder.
http://www.kypartnership.org/mental/schizoaffective.htm

Extractions: Calendar Resources About Search ... Staff Schizoaffective Disorder is a biological disorder thought to be brought on by an imbalance in brain chemicals, specifically dopamine. It is defined as "the presence of major depression, mania, or a mixture or alternative of depressive and manic symptoms for at least two weeks", and a decline in social functioning for at least six months (problems with school or work, social relationships, or self-care). Schizoaffective is still sometimes diagnosed simply as a transition from Bipolar to Schizophrenia, since its symptoms are mainly a combination of the two. Even recent research still questions this disorder being separate since most diagnosed with this disorder are later diagnosed Schizophrenic with a mood disorder or Bipolar with a psychotic disorder. One person diagnosed strictly as Schizoaffective described the feeling as "dreaming when you are wide awake"; that it's hard for the person to distinguish between fantasy and reality. CHARACTERISTICS and DIAGNOSIS: This disorder affects young adults as early as late adolescence and early twenties. Past 30, the disorder is rare, and past 40 is extremely unlikely. The most serious characteristic of Schizoaffective is the likelihood of suicide. Schizoaffective patients know they have a disorder, unlike Schizophrenic patients, and therefore realize their behavior is due to the disorder and understand the social consequences of their actions. Diagnosis of Schizoaffective can only come from a clinical interview. It cannot be diagnosed through an X-ray, CAT scan, or blood work, only a sit down interview so that the clinician can discuss symptoms with the patient. In the interview, the diagnostician will also have to check to see if the patient is experiencing any physical problems that could result in symptoms of Schizoaffective, such as a brain tumor or alcohol or substance abuse.
