Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder: How They Compare
Briefly

Advocating for rights for individuals with schizophrenia is challenging. In the US, few activists have effectively shared their experiences through memoirs and social media channels.
Activists often do not have a true schizophrenia diagnosis; many have schizoaffective disorder, which is often conflated with schizophrenia due to symptom similarities.
The key difference is that schizoaffective disorder involves extreme mood symptoms, whereas schizophrenia typically presents with a lack of affect and emotional response.
Research shows that individuals with schizoaffective disorder may experience higher rates of remission and recovery compared to those diagnosed with schizophrenia.
