Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic, recurrent disorder characterized by episodes of non__ampersandsignndash;mood-associated psychosis and mood episodes (manic or depressed) with psychotic features. According to Ayurveda, the present case report deals with schizoaffective disorder diagnosed and treated as Vatapittaja Unmada. A 36-year-old female patient presenting with increased self-talk and thoughts was managed with internal and external medications. The assessment was done before and after treatment using PANSS and BPRS, and there was a considerable reduction in the symptoms. This single case report attempts to document the changes in symptoms produced due to the administration of Ayurveda medicines both internally and externally.
