Abilify did pull me out of the deepest depression I had ever been in. As far as psychotic symptoms, I would say yes it has helped. I think it is an all around good med for me so far. I was doing so good for so long that I thought I was somehow cured and didnt even have bipolar. Thought maybe I was just a happy go lucky person until weeks after I quit taking it and here I am on the couch again. Started it back up two days ago and praying it works as well as it did the first time.
