Lithium has antidepressant effects and is sometimes given to unipolar depressed patients. Zyprexa is given to suicidal people a lot even those who are not psychotic or bipolar. Abilify commercial is just more marketing since lots of antipsychotics used as add ons are now generic like Seroquel and zyprexa, same goes for symbyax with prozac and zyprexa being generic, why save consumers money?
Of course, the commercial creates a lovely belief that the drug will work and placebo effects are still effects.
