Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizoaffective Disorder is a chronic mental health condition that combines symptoms of both schizophrenia and mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. Individuals with schizoaffective disorder experience a combination of psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions, alongside significant mood disturbances. At Kibun Health, we recognize the complexities of schizoaffective disorder and offer comprehensive support to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Types of Schizoaffective Disorder
Bipolar Type
In this type, individuals with schizoaffective disorder experience both psychotic symptoms and distinct episodes of mania or hypomania. These manic or hypomanic episodes are characterized by elevated mood, increased energy, racing thoughts, impulsivity, and engagement in pleasurable activities. The mood symptoms alternate between manic or hypomanic episodes and major depressive episodes.
Depressive Type
In the depressive type of schizoaffective disorder, individuals experience both psychotic symptoms and major depressive episodes. The predominant mood symptoms are persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure, changes in appetite or sleep, and thoughts of death or suicide. Unlike the bipolar type, there are no distinct episodes of mania or hypomania in this subtype.
