[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752605, member: 23706"] I know a littl because I meet soooooo many people at the business. I will share what I know from a few parents/ relatives of those who care for somebody who has svhizoaffevtive. I was told pot can bring it on but only if it's there. Schizoaffevtive Disorder is both a mood disorder and a thought disorder. It is schizophrenia and bipolar combined but is more treatable than schizophrenia by itself. A few people told me this. I don't know why this is. Schizophrenia causes hallucinations and breaks with reality. Paranoid people often truly believe they are being poisened or tracked by others or hunted down by the FBI. I believe medications are a must from what I have been told. Paradoxically, the patient often believes that his medications are poisen so will not take them and does not get better. It's a sad disease. Bipolar is a spectrum disorder with the very worst patients becoming psychotic when manic and suicidal when depressed. Often they refuse medications but I don't know why. I believe they do need medicatioln to stop the cycling and each cycle, I was told, imprints on the brain so cycling needs to stop with medication. This disorder tends to be inherited. Pot and other drugs are commonly used with it and make the person worse. Well, this is what I have been told. It could be wrong. Don't take it to heart until you check. I am sorry your ex is so ill. God bless all of you. [/QUOTE]
