Schizoaffective Disorder – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatments

Mood Swings

People with the bipolar subtype of schizoaffective disorder might experience some mood swings. They would unexpectedly turn from a negative to a positive state or vice versa just in a couple of seconds or minutes. These episodes tend to last for many hours or days. This means the patients can feel extremely happy on Monday and then become very depressed or sad the next day at school. However, this can be a subtle sign that is not simple to notice. Therefore, it is important to seek medical support from your doctor to detect the condition early. [6]
