Schizophrenia is a very complex mental disorder. Those who have schizophrenia struggle with changes in how they feel, think, and behave. The symptoms they experience will change each day.

Schizoaffective Disorder shows the same features as schizophrenia in addition to characteristics of another mood disorder (depression or bipolar disorder). It is important to recognize the risks elderly people can face when diagnosed with either of these conditions and to stay in active communication with doctors. Through appropriate medication and therapy, schizophrenia can be managed and its effects lessened.
