hi. from what I understand, the data is actually better for abilify as long-term treatment for psychotic disorders and as an anti-manic than as an antidepressant.

for me, personally, 20mgs abilify keeps me lucid, stable, etc., w/o eps, td, too much cognitive impairment, dysphoria, etc. my own experience is that abilify definitely keeps agitation and such at bay, and it "takes the edge off" the low points.
