Most antipsychotics also will treat depression and anxiety. However, USUALLY their only prescribed if their other qualities are needed (e.g. the anti psychosis part) so I’m not sure why your psych chose that med. it SHOULD work tho

Hello, Rowboat. I am also on Abilify, though for a few reasons. I can tell you that it is a good med for anxiety, and may be chosen due to its having almost no drug interactions. Oftentimes this med is prescribed when a Dr feels that there's a possibility of overmedication or drug interactions. There are also few side effects and allergic reactions.
