Schizoaffective Disorder – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatments

Possible Lab Tests

To confirm the initial diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, your healthcare provider might need to take a blood test. This will help rule out any medical issues which trigger the condition. While there are many options, a CBC or complete blood count is the most popular one. Also, some imaging tests such as CT or MRI scan can be helpful in determining any issues in your cognitive system. If your condition might be triggered by substance abuse, a test for the presence of drugs or alcohol would also be needed. [10]
