What is schizoaffective disorder?

[unsaidwords]

My therapist told me it's what I have, and so did my mental health nurse (she called it psycho affective, don't know if they're different things) and i'm just wondering what it is, and how long until i'm clean from medication, like if it requires medication for the rest of my life or i can be "cured"?

Schizoaffective disorder is a mental condition that causes both a loss of contact with reality (psychosis) and mood problems.
