Abilify has dual efficacy - BP and schizophrenia.

Keep in mind that mental illness has no pathology so your p-doc is taking your symptoms, adding them up, and presenting a diagnosis. BP 1 can come with some psychotic activity but not necessarily schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and BP 1 can look alike, especially when it comes to depression.

*Please* watch yourself with Abilify - it has some strong side effects, especially in teens.

My recommendation - dive in and do some research. Gain an understanding of everything, be an advocate for yourself, but try not to self-diagnose. Knowledge is power.
