Living with Schizoaffective Disorder

Hi!

Do you remember the movie "A Beautiful Mind"? My mind isn't beautiful, but it is cute!

My name is Dawn and I have schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is comprised of a thought disorder (schizophrenia) and a mood disorder (depression or bipolar disorder-I have depression).

I have decided to blog about my experience with schizoaffective disorder to help myself as well as others. I'm a little nervous about it, but it is something that I definitely want to do.

Ta-ta for now!

  1. Hi!

    I have schizoaffective disorder myself - bipolar type. It is very brave of you to talk about it. I managed to learn to live with it very well. I have had it for the last 13 years, but managed to finish college, get a job and keep it, marry happily. I am 35. I am writing a book about my life in order to give some hope to others.
