While medication manages the neurochemical aspects of schizoaffective disorder, psychotherapy builds the skills needed for long-term recovery. From CBT for psychosis to social skills training and family therapy, talk therapy empowers you to understand symptoms, strengthen relationships, and achieve personal goals. It's not just about talking—it's about actively developing tools for thriving and building the life you want to live.
Schizoaffective disorder combines symptoms of psychosis—like hallucinations and delusions—with major mood episodes such as depression or mania. Unlike schizophrenia or bipolar disorder alone, this condition involves periods where both symptom types occur together and separately. Understanding this complex intersection is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. With appropriate care, individuals can manage symptoms effectively and lead fulfilling lives.
