To all that had replied...
My wife is schizoaffective and it has not been an easy ride. she started out with a horrific manic episode that has lapsed into 7 months of a mild psychosis. She spends hours locked in her room or bathroom standing in front of the mirror talking to her hands (this is where the "people" talk through her).
Surprisingly she is able to work, but the symptoms are not getting any better despite loads of meds and med changes.
Is there any hope? Could the meds be causing it (never heard voices until after she started Geodon)?
