A Mission for Michael (AMFM) (844-994-3868), a trusted provider of evidence-based and compassionate mental health care, has authored a new guide on schizoaffective disorder and living alone.
-- A Mission for Michael’s clinical team has authored a comprehensive new guide that answers whether it is safe for someone with schizoaffective disorder to live alone, explaining both the possible benefits and detriments, and offering alternative living options that may be preferable.

As AMFM’s new guide explained, the answer to what are the safest and the best living options for people who have schizoaffective disorder is complex.
Living alone with schizoaffective disorder has been shown to significantly heighten the risk of psychiatric distress—particularly anxiety and depression—most notably during challenging life transitions such as divorce or bereavement. A recent large‐scale study involving over 121,000 people identified that those living alone had a 60.8% higher likelihood of experiencing psychiatric morbidity, which indicates that isolation can exacerbate underlying mental health issues, especially in vulnerable times.
Yet the guide also underscores that living alone is not uniformly detrimental as it is ultimately the quality of social interaction, rather than mere frequency, that matters. Individuals who foster meaningful, emotionally satisfying connections can mitigate many of the risks associated with solitude, supporting their recovery and mental wellness even in the absence of roommates or cohabitants.
For those who may not be ready or suited to live alone, AMFM’s guide outlines several alternatives, including supported housing, group homes and co-living arrangements with trusted family members or peers. These options can provide a balance of autonomy and daily support, reducing the risk of isolation while promoting long-term stability and well-being.
Whether living alone or with others, their new guide also provides an extensive array of proven daily coping techniques that can support an individual’s ability to live well in any circumstance.
As AMFM’s new guide stresses, making the choice of where and how to live should always be guided by an individual’s desires and preferences. However, professional advice from an expert clinician, like one of their team, can also be immensely beneficial.
As their spokesperson affirmed, “At A Mission for Michael, we provide personalized treatment plans, addressing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapeutic recovery. We understand that schizoaffective disorder requires more than just standard treatment, and as such, we offer counseling and therapy options, including individual psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and family therapy. These are complemented by holistic treatments and psychotropic medications for a well-rounded approach to care.”
