That is very interesting. I would think the mri would show quite a bit.
I also read the article and it did concern me a lot. I took abilify for two years straight. I have not noticed any adverse effects or brain damage but how would I really know. I have never had a brain scan. I am going to stay away from them because I really don't need them. I am MDD. If I was bi polar and bad mania and psychosis I would take them and not worry. Just like NOS NOS says.
