Living with a mental health condition like schizoaffective disorder can feel overwhelming, not just for those directly affected but for their loved ones as well.

Together, we can help you build a foundation for long-term recovery.
Schizoaffective disorder is a complex mental health condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, with mood disorder symptoms like depression or mania. This condition can disrupt a person’s thoughts, emotions, and ability to connect with others, making daily life and relationships increasingly difficult to manage.
The exact causes of schizoaffective disorder are not completely understood, but researchers believe a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors may play a role. What’s clear is that proper treatment is essential to managing its symptoms. Without appropriate care, this condition can lead to isolation, emotional distress, and significant instability.
However, with the right support, people with schizoaffective disorder can lead productive and fulfilling lives. At Excel Behavioral Health, we are here to provide that support every step of the way.
Recognizing the signs of schizoaffective disorder is the first step toward getting help. This condition can appear differently in everyone, but some of the most common symptoms include:
It’s important to remember that schizoaffective disorder is not something anyone chooses. These symptoms can feel scary and challenging to navigate, both for the person experiencing them and for those who care about them. But help is available. At Excel Behavioral Health, our team understands schizoaffective disorder and tailors every program to meet the specific needs of each individual.
Being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder may feel daunting, but treatment options are available—and they work. The goal of treatment is to ease symptoms, improve day-to-day functioning, and lay the groundwork for a healthier, more stable life. At Excel Behavioral Health, we provide a full continuum of care rooted in expert knowledge and compassionate understanding. Our treatment programs include:
Sometimes, schizoaffective disorder symptoms become too intense or overwhelming to manage in daily life. In these cases, inpatient treatment can offer a safe and structured environment for healing. At Excel Behavioral Health, we offer a highly supportive setting where individuals can access intensive care designed to stabilize symptoms. Our patients work closely with a team of mental health professionals who focus on medication management, therapy, and creating a personalized plan for long-term recovery.
A Partial Hospitalization Program offers the structure of inpatient care while allowing you to reside at home or with loved ones. Our PHP provides consistent clinical support throughout the day, helping you navigate your symptoms while building coping skills and healthy habits. This program is ideal for individuals transitioning from inpatient care or for those requiring intensive support without full-time hospitalization.
For individuals seeking focused treatment while balancing other responsibilities like work or family, an Intensive Outpatient Program can be an excellent fit. At Excel Behavioral Health, our IOP sessions provide targeted support to help you work through challenges, develop strategies for managing symptoms, and strengthen your emotional well-being. You’ll participate in therapy and counseling sessions several times a week, allowing for flexibility while maintaining access to expert care.
Outpatient treatment is our most flexible level of care. It’s designed for individuals who are experiencing more stability and want to meet less frequently while still focusing on their recovery. At this stage, you’ll continue therapy sessions, medication management, and skill-building with regular support from our team.
Managing schizoaffective disorder often begins with regulating the chemical imbalances in the brain that cause symptoms. Psychiatry services at Excel Behavioral Health include medication management with a focus on personalized planning. Whether it’s antipsychotic medications, mood stabilizers, or antidepressants, we work with you to ensure a treatment plan that fits your needs and makes a difference in your everyday life.
Therapeutic support is a cornerstone of our approach. Through individual, group, and family therapy, we help you understand your condition, address underlying challenges, and build powerful tools for long-lasting resilience. Therapy at Excel Behavioral Health is not just about addressing symptoms—it’s about creating hope and a sense of connection.
At Excel Behavioral Health, we understand that living with schizoaffective disorder is so much more than just managing its symptoms. It’s about learning how to take back your life, your goals, and your relationships. That’s why we use an integrated approach that centers on personal growth, stability, and community support.
