10 Schizoaffective Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #10: More Sociable
Having a social life is important to many of us. It is healthy to keep up with friends and go out and have a good time occasionally, but we will also try to keep it within reasonable limits. Too much of a social life can have an impact on our commitments, work, and other responsibilities.
People with schizoaffective disorder may experience a heightened desire for socializing. They are likely to want to go out whenever possible and do what they can to meet new people. This can lead to a life of excessive partying, causing professional and other commitments to suffer as a result.
This is usually associated with manic episodes. As the patient starts to feel their confidence rising, the feeling of being grandiose can cause them to seek more social interaction and it can also lead to hypersexuality as their libido increases hand in hand with their self-esteem.
