Question

A nursing instructor is developing a class lecture that compares and contrasts schizoaffective disorder with schizophrenia. When describing one of the differences between these two diagnoses, what would the instructor include as reflecting schizoaffective disorder

Answer 1

Answer:

The instructor could include that the schizoaffective disorder is episodic in nature.

Explanation:

Schizoaffective disorder is episodic in nature. This is because he has the ability to alternate episodes of euphoria, with episodes of depression, with episodes of psychotic and neurotic crises. Although it is similar to schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder reveals great instability in mood in a person and is difficult to detect, because the symptoms can be confused with other psychological problems.
