Ability is an atypical antisychotic, used for psychosis in schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective. Used for mania, mixed moods as well as an antidepressant add-on.

Schizoaffective you probably know is a mood disorder combined with schizophrenia. The psychosis can be preset outside or mania or depression. With bipolar alone psychosis can be present during mania, or depression but not outside of an acute mood episode.

Everything has variation, what dr's know seems a bit limited with regaurd to shizoaffective. I experience paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations outside of mood episodes sometimes. I am dx with bipolar 1, my dr has questioned schizoaffective but hasn't determined anything yet. The meds to treat either I believe are the same.
