Schizoaffective disorder: Does Schizoaffective disorder get worse over time or better???
Yeah ...it seems like my diagnosis has gotten worse over the years..at
first I was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and then BPD,
and then PTDS and panic attacks with agoraphobia, then it went on to become
diagnosed with bipolar 1 then bipolar 1 with psychotic features, and now im
diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar spectrum disorder..but I can see
where you both are coming from ...I always go back and forth wandering if I
really do have mental illness or not..i guess I really haven't except the
fact that I do...and other times Im certain that I do have it..when things
start going wrong for me like having hallucinations and stuff.
some comments as a former psych nurse-- are any of your medication costs
paid for by insurance or Medicaid ? IMHO Klonopin is longer acting and
causes less dependency than Loraz. since you are doing ok on a smaller
does, maybe your doc would consider changing you to that. Klono stays with
you longer and is less intense in the first several hours. as others have
suggested: your condition should remain stable as long as you stay on
your combo. of medications. please do not stop any of them without a long
consult with your prescriber.
i have schizoaffective depressed type as for me it is getting worse over
time when i was in college it was very easy for me to learn things but now
i think my cognitive abilities has deteriorated i have poor memory and my
mind processing becomes slow also i always experience brain fog
Regarding Schizoaffective disorder, for me it's gotten better with the help
of medication and good friends. Then again, I've only had this diagnosis
since early 2014 and I seem to be doing very well. I'm sure I was schizo
before 2014, but I'm less delusional for sure. Happier too :)
I think it depends from person to person, if you are stabile or not. im
afraid it is a life long illness and you can't cure it. but you can learn
how to cope and handle with the symptoms and live a better life
my uncle is schizoaffective he had it since he was a kid he became
extremely violent after my grandmother passed...I am also schizoaffective
and I'm afraid I'm gonna end up end up like my uncle over time
For me it has gotten more tolerable. If I'm home alone hallucinations don't
bother me, being in crowds I sometimes can't figure out what is real or
hallucinations & can cause some anxiety.
Thanks for the update - all the best with your move - sounds like your
daughter with schizoaffective disorder is doing well - I became very ill
when I stopped taking clozapine (even when reducing it very,very slowly), I
got hospitalised and it took me several years to recover from clozapine
withdrawal symptoms.
oh, that sounds awful. I hope you've found a good treatment.
