Hey Scott..I agree Abilify will be good for some people in cases where all else fails and the depression is pretty bad. If the lingering depression is mild to manageably moderate, and you are already having some success with an antidepressant, Abilify should not be a go to as far as I'm concerned. Time, exercise, diet, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, introspection, and life changes will likely get someone back to living more the way they want to.
Maybe I should not have used the word "Scam". It is all in the advertising Scott. They simply say something like, "If your symptoms of depression are not totally resolved, then Abilify may help". It is such an aggressive advertising campaign, this is where the injustice lies. People are so vulnerable to and easily impressed by these ads. Ads like this reinforce this idea that we need to medication in order to completely resolve issues with depression. People that are depressed will do anything just to feel better, and the makers of Abilify are totally taking advantage of this.
