Assessment

Diagnosis (DSM-5 and ICD-10 Codes):

Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Type

· DSM-5 Code: 295.70

· ICD-10 Code: F25.0

Differential Diagnoses:

·
Bipolar I Disorder with Psychotic Features (ICD-10: F31.2)

· Mood instability could indicate bipolar disorder, but persistent hallucinations outside mood episodes support schizoaffective disorder.

·
Schizophrenia (ICD-10: F20.9)

· Continuous hallucinations suggest schizophrenia, but mood symptoms align more with schizoaffective disorder (Pavlichenko et al., 2024).

·
Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features (ICD-10: F32.3)

· Patient’s manic symptoms and persistent paranoia rule out major depressive disorder alone.

Plan

1.
Pharmacologic Interventions:

· Increase olanzapine from 10 mg to 15 mg once nightly to reduce excessive hallucinations and paranoia (Florentin et al., 2023).

·
When symptoms return, continue fluoxetine at 20 mg daily for mood stabilization (Pavlichenko et al., 2024).

· If manic symptoms persist, consider adding a mood stabilizer (such as lithium or valproate).with a low dose and adjusting as needed.

2.
Non-Pharmacologic Interventions:

· Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recommended for psychotic symptoms and mood regulation (Pavlichenko et al., 2024)..

· Psychoeducation on medication adherence and side effect management

3.
Patient Education:

· Explain the importance of continued medication even when there is improvement in symptoms.

· Give strategies to cope with paranoia and hallucinations.

4.
Safety Planning:

· Educate the patient to contact if symptoms get worse.

· Emergency contact plan in place for crisis situations.

5.
Follow-Up:

· Report back in 2 weeks for symptom and medication review..

6.
Referrals:

· Referral to a psychiatrist for medication management.

· Referral to therapy for CBT and psychoeducation.
