Idk which AP my aunt was on (longterm I'm sure more than a year) and she started suffering severe headaches and her memory was getting worse. The pain was severe and consistant enough to send her to a GP who referred her to a specialist after his treatments failed to alleviate her symptoms.

Turns out Brain Atrophy is real, she lost a significant amount of brain mass... To add insult to injury, this was 2 years before those articles and studies were released so one of the Dr's actually accused her of abusing illicit street drugs.

That being said, idk if Abilify is one of the culprits, I read the article here on PC last year about AP's and Brain Atrophy and don't remember if they mentioned Abilify.
