>Yeah, I still get depression even though I'm on Abilify. Even though they now market it as an anti-depressant augmenting agent, I think its really better for mania and psychosis than it is for depression.
I think Abilify works differently at the low doses it is prescribed as an anitdepressant adjunct. You may be right about it being more effective for mania and psychosis though.
What else are you doing for your depression? I think you mentioned being in therapy. What about group therapy?
Are you able to start making social connections again? Are you able to get out and have fun with friends? These things would greatly improve depressive symptoms, if you can function well enough to do them of course.
