I got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, in my early twenties. I remained medicated and stable, for many years. However, I went off my meds, at the start of mid-life. I have since gone back on my meds, but I am not as symptom-free, as I was when I was younger.

Now that I am peri-menopausal, I believe that my lack of estrogen, is impacting my mental health. Please see the article below to read more about the effects of menopause on schizophrenia. I  believe that there is a link between these two events. My voices go back and forth classifying my symptoms as either a "mid-life crisis" or a "major psychotic episode." Could my problem be both of these coinciding events?
