See beyond the confusion and find the clarity that’s waiting for you with the personalized Schizoaffective Disorder Treatment by H Siddique MD PA. We can help you rewrite the narrative into something more whole and more real.
You’re probably feeling a lot of things right now—confused, overwhelmed, maybe even a little scared. Being told you have schizoaffective disorder can hit you out of nowhere. Maybe you don’t know what it means, or maybe you feel like you’ve just been handed a label that doesn’t fit who you are.
First off, let’s break it down: Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition that can cause you to experience both symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders, like depression or bipolar disorder. This means you might hear or see things that aren’t there (hallucinations), or feel like your thoughts are out of control (delusions).
Along with that, you might struggle with extreme mood swings—feeling really down one minute and overly energetic or irritable the next. It can be hard to make sense of your emotions or see the world in a clear way when your mind is going through these ups and downs.
You don’t have to continue feeling lost in your own mind.
Schizoaffective disorder is a challenge, but it is manageable—with the right treatment. At Haroon Siddique, MD, PA, we specialize in personalized approaches to mental health, designed specifically for your unique needs. Our goal is simple: to help you find clarity, balance, and the stability you need to regain control of your life.
Here’s the deal: We don’t treat you like a label. We treat you as a person. We get that you’re tired of feeling lost in your own thoughts. That’s why we work with you to create a plan that’s specifically designed for your situation, your symptoms, and your needs. No one-size-fits-all treatments here.
When it comes to treating schizoaffective disorder, medication is often the first step. But it’s not just about taking a pill—it’s about finding the right combination that targets both parts of the disorder: schizophrenia and mood swings.
We work closely with you to find the right dosage and combination to manage symptoms effectively, and adjust it over time to ensure that it’s working without side effects that hinder your daily life. It’s about getting you to a point where you can function normally—feel stable, balanced, and able to think clearly.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is designed to help you challenge distorted thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, more rational thoughts. This is important because schizoaffective disorder often creates negative thought loops, making it harder to differentiate between what’s real and what’s a symptom. CBT helps you regain control over your mental space and empowers you to cope better with everyday situations.
Psychotherapy: Along with CBT, we incorporate psychoeducation to help you understand what’s happening in your mind. You’ll learn how to manage emotions, recognize triggers, and build coping strategies. This gives you practical tools to handle the mood swings, anxiety, and confusion that come with the disorder.
Supportive Therapy: Alongside CBT, supportive therapy offers a space for you to discuss your challenges in a safe, non-judgmental environment. This is important for building trust and emotional resilience, as you work through both personal issues and the symptoms of the disorder.
Schizoaffective disorder is not static—it evolves, and so does the treatment plan. That’s why ongoing monitoring is a crucial part of your treatment journey.
Regular Check-ins: You won’t just be handed a treatment plan and left to manage on your own. We schedule regular follow-ups to track your progress, monitor side effects, and ensure that the treatment plan remains effective and relevant to your current needs.
Medication Adjustments: Over time, we may need to adjust medications—whether to address side effects or to fine-tune your dosage as your symptoms change. Your treatment is dynamic, evolving with your needs.
Therapy Tweaks: If certain strategies aren’t working or if you need additional support, we adjust the therapeutic approach to ensure you’re getting the right kind of care, whether it’s enhancing coping techniques or diving deeper into underlying emotional triggers.
