Description

Indications

Abilify is a medication used to treat a variety of mental and mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, and irritability associated with autistic disorder. 

Abilify may be utilized in combination with other medications to treat depression. As an atypical antipsychotic drug, aripiprazole works by restoring the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, resulting in decreased hallucinations and improved concentration. 

The medication can aid in thinking more clearly and positively, reducing nervousness and promoting active participation in daily life. Aripiprazole has been shown to effectively treat severe mood swings and reduce the frequency of these episodes.
