yes it's listed as one but it is increasingly being used off lable for other conditions such as depression induced cognitive impairment and for remediating neurocognitive side affects caused by some of the other psychotropics for example, it helps with SSRI induced word finding problems.It's also been proven moderatley affective in treating TD,improving verbal memory and fluency in schizophrenia(while maintaing a calming affect, not making the psychosis worse like many stimulants and antidepressants have been known to do), helping with psychotic behavior in the elderly, and is being tested as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, (imagine a mood stabilizer which actually ENHANCES cognition instead of blunting it!)
