A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has treatment centers providing treatment for schizoaffective disorder in California, Washington, and Virginia. Our schizoaffective treatment options are customized to your specific symptoms. Psychiatric care is available with medication for mood stabilization so you can fully participate in other aspects of treatment.
In addition to schizoaffective disorder management, we provide comprehensive care for other mental health and dual diagnosis conditions. Our facilities combine the use of various counseling and therapy options, holistic treatments, and psychotropic medications. Here, we will provide you with an understanding of schizoaffective symptoms and the schizoaffective disorder counseling available at AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers.
Schizoaffective disorder is a psychotic mood disorder that presents with symptoms of schizophrenia with mood disorders. You may experience depressive or manic episodes alongside symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Delusions and hallucinations are typically present without a mood episode for a minimum of two weeks.
Though mood symptoms generally ebb and flow, they continually make an appearance. Risk factors associated with the development of schizoaffective disorder include genetics, high-stress events, and taking mind-altering substances. While drug use is a risk factor, symptoms of schizoaffective disorder cannot be the result of substance use or other mental health conditions. Because of the nature of the symptoms, those living with this condition can experience a range of challenges and health concerns. This includes isolation, conflict with loved ones, career difficulties, heart conditions, obesity, and homelessness.
Schizoaffective disorder symptoms can vary from person to person. There are common themes of psychotic features and mood episodes. This can include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and mood disturbances, like episodes of mania or depression. Symptoms can severely impact your functioning, affecting your work, relationships, and self-care and hygiene practices.
Those living with schizoaffective disorder may also experience unusual or bizarre behaviors. They may find themselves struggling with feeling worthless, empty, and sad. Depressive symptoms can affect their concentration, energy levels, and motivations. Regulating emotions can be really difficult, especially for those who are experiencing active psychotic symptoms.
Schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia both include psychotic symptoms like delusions and hallucinations. The key difference between schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia is that schizoaffective disorder includes mood symptoms like mania and depression, whereas schizophrenia does not include mood symptoms. This difference affects treatment interventions and the use of psychopharmacology medications.
Another difference is that psychotic symptoms are persistent with schizophrenia, whereas mood symptoms are more active than psychotic schizoaffective disorder symptoms. Schizoaffective disorder tends to include episodes of symptoms, whereas schizophrenia is known for having more consistent psychotic symptoms.
A schizoaffective treatment program includes comprehensive care for those struggling with psychotic and mood symptoms. Treatment programs can include psychiatric care, schizoaffective disorder medications, and schizoaffective disorder therapy. These interventions work together to address the complex nature of schizoaffective disorder. At the end of treatment, your functioning should be improved, and mood symptoms should be lessened and managed.
Schizoaffective treatment programs provide personalized care plans. This can include cognitive-behavioral therapy for schizoaffective disorder and skill development. You may meet with a psychiatrist to find a medication regimen that addresses your mood symptoms. The duration of care and the schizoaffective disorder counseling approaches used will impact your response to treatment.
The cost of treatment for schizoaffective disorder is dependent on the level of care you receive and the use of specialized treatment services. Residential psychiatric programs have higher expenses than outpatient treatment programs due to the intensity of treatment. The cost of residential treatment often falls between $15,000 and $60,000 for 30 days.
There are significant price differences among the different types of outpatient care as well. We encourage you to contact AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers to receive a personalized estimate for treatment. Our admission counselors can help you understand the breakdown of costs and how your insurance coverage would affect your costs. Call us now!
Some treatment providers offer free and confidential assessments. You may be able to find free assessments online in a quiz format, but these are generic and not issued by mental health professionals. Choosing to utilize a free schizoaffective disorder test administered by professionals can remove some of the financial worries that come with mental health treatment.
A Mission For Michael offers a confidential and free assessment for various conditions, including schizoaffective disorder. Our professionals explore your current symptoms, mental health history, and other related factors. This allows us to determine which level of care would be ideal for you.

There are two types of mood symptoms associated with schizoaffective disorder. Both types can experience similar psychotic symptoms and vary in mood symptoms. Individualized care is imperative to address the unique presentation of this condition. The two types of schizoaffective disorder include:
Bipolar type schizoaffective disorder occurs and includes the presence of mania or hypomania, with or without depressive episodes. You can experience severe mood swings, ranging from mania to depressive episodes. This mood disorder with psychotic features can make it challenging to cope with your emotions and to navigate everyday challenges.
Depressive type schizoaffective disorder includes the typical symptoms of schizophrenia in addition to depressive episodes. Depressive episodes commonly include a low mood, fatigue, hopelessness, isolation, and low energy. You may find yourself thinking about death or harming yourself. Healthcare facilities offering treatment can include antipsychotic medications for schizoaffective disorder and counseling services.
A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has multiple behavioral health treatment facilities that offer various mental health programs, including schizoaffective disorder.

After completing schizoaffective disorder tests, your clinical team will develop your personalized treatment plan. Examples of commonly used treatment programs within a recovery center include:
Schizoaffective disorder is a complex and individualized condition. In response to this, several schizoaffective disorder interventions can be used. The care you receive is dependent on your symptoms and the impact they have on your functioning. Therapy clinics commonly use the following approaches for schizoaffective disorder counseling:
Psychotherapy allows you to meet with a mental health professional 1:1 in a behavioral health center. This allows you to address emotions, thoughts, and behaviors contributing to your distress. You can focus on learning coping skills for your unique symptoms. Schizoaffective therapy can be an effective intervention in residential and outpatient treatment centers.
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) focuses on helping you explore the unconscious processes that affect your relationships. This can help you address distorted thought patterns that mainly affect your relationships. TFP can also help you strengthen your emotional regulation skills and help you gain self-awareness.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy for schizoaffective disorder, or CBT, will teach you to recognize unhealthy thoughts and beliefs that contribute to your feelings and behaviors. This can be effective for those experiencing negative thinking patterns, hallucinations, and delusions. CBT can help address unhealthy thoughts, leading to an improvement in your mood and overall mental health.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive therapy that blends components of CBT and mindfulness. DBT focuses on learning emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills and improving interpersonal effectiveness. This can help address impulsive behaviors that commonly occur with schizoaffective disorder. With DBT, you can stabilize your symptoms and elevate your relationships with others.
Treatment and skills training can help improve everyday life skills that are affected by schizoaffective disorder. This can include social interactions, job training, and self-care practices. You can work on building your independence and gaining autonomy, providing you with an increased sense of independence.
Therapy can occur in an individual, group, or family session. Group therapy allows you to connect with others who can relate to your experiences. Family support for schizoaffective disorder can help you and your loved ones improve communication while establishing trust and healthy boundaries. These are effective approaches because they can strengthen and build support while supporting your recovery.
