A partner with schizoaffective disorder might experience waves of anger or irritability, sadness, emptiness, high energy of mania, and generally unusual—perhaps even inappropriate—emotional responses.

How do schizoaffective disorders behave?

People with schizoaffective disorder can have a wide variety of different symptoms, including having unusual perceptual experiences (hallucinations) or beliefs others do not share (delusions), mood (such as marked depression), low motivation, inability to experience pleasure, and poor attention.
