Also, for instance, that anti-psychotic isn't only effective for psychosis.

Yeah, I know that meds can be used "off label" to treat things like mania, but I can't help but think that Rexulti does nothing for treating mania. Plenty of people on here have said it did/does nothing for treating their mania. I know that everyone reacts to meds differently, but there is a strong pattern of people on here (and other sites) stating that Rexulti does nothing for their mania, so combined with the fact Rexulti failed clinical trials aimed at proving its efficacy in treating mania, I personally think the likelihood of Rexulti effectively treating mania is very, very low. I think I am more of a hyperactive ADHD person whose normal behavior seems "manic" compared to when they're dealing with periodic depression caused by stress and the ADHD itself... but in reality, the "mania" is just ADHD hyperactivity. (I was diagnosed with "moderate to severe ADHD" with serious hyperactivity/impulsivity issues, btw, and lots of people with comorbid ADHD and depression are incorrectly diagnosed with bipolar.)
