Schizoaffective Disorder

Compassionate Care for a Complex Condition

Helping You Overcome Addiction and Reclaim Your Life

At Buena Park Rehab, we specialize in treating schizoaffective disorder, a serious mental health condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia with mood disorder symptoms like depression or bipolar disorder. Our integrated treatment approach focuses on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

What is Schizoaffective Disorder?

Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by a combination of:
  • Psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking
  • Mood episodes like major depression or manic episodes
Because it shares features with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential for long-term stability and recovery.

Common Symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder

Recognizing the symptoms is the first step toward effective treatment. Individuals may experience:
  • Delusions (false, fixed beliefs)
  • Auditory hallucinations (hearing voices)
  • Disorganized speech or behavior
  • Periods of mania (high energy, impulsive behavior)
  • Episodes of deep depression
  • Social withdrawal and impaired functioning
If left untreated, these symptoms can interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. That’s why early intervention and specialized care are crucial.

Our Schizoaffective Disorder Treatment Program

At Buena Park Rehab, our evidence-based and personalized treatment plans are designed to address the unique challenges of schizoaffective disorder. We provide a safe and supportive environment where healing begins.

1. Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis

Our licensed psychiatrists conduct thorough assessments to differentiate schizoaffective disorder from related conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

2. Medication Management

Stabilization often involves a combination of:
  • Antipsychotics
  • Mood stabilizers
  • Antidepressants
Our medical team monitors progress and adjusts medications as needed to ensure the best outcomes.

3. Individual & Group Therapy

Therapies are tailored to help clients develop coping strategies, improve functioning, and rebuild relationships.
