5 Treatment Options for Schizoaffective Disorder
Electroconvulsive Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy, also known as ECT, is a process in which electrical currents are transmitted through the cognitive system to reverse some possible signs of your schizoaffective disorder. It can be combined with some drugs to deal with more severe cases. However, keep in mind that this is not a first-line treatment. Your doctor would only suggest this option when there are not significant improvements after you have taken the second generation of antipsychotics. Also, make sure to discuss the possible side effects and time of commitment before you make the final decision. [12]
