Uncertain: Schizoaffective disorder is defined as "a chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression." However, as noted by the CCHR, "none of the psychiatric diagnoses are supported by objective evidence of physical disease, illness, or science."
