Hello, Kvhurley28, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Your article

edit

Thanks for your additions to the schizoaffective disorder article. One thing to keep in mind when you're editing Wikipedia is that you're making changes to the "live" version of the article, so if you make additions in bold, like you did with this edit you're going to confuse readers.

It's also important to avoid adding opinions to an article, like you did with this section

Though this rare disorder is often overlooked, it is an important topic to continue researching. Bringing awareness to this illness will impact the lives of those suffering from this disorder tremendously. Advocating for oneself is imperative when it comes to treatment of a mental disorder. If therapy or medications are not available, the best way to heal is to practice healthy coping mechanisms.

While this is true (I have a friend whose family has been affected by this) this sort of call to action doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:07, 18 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
