How is Schizoaffective Disorder distinguished from Schizophrenia?
Schizoaffective Disorder is a condition where there are other symptoms besides the ones for schziphrenia, or where there are only some of the schizophrenic symptoms present. For example, there are many conditions which may cause hallucinations, but only one of those conditions is schizophrenia. Shizoaffective Disorder may include symptoms such as mood swings, in addition to something like hallucinations or paranoia which might ordinarily be associated with schizopohrenia.
