Depression
"Abilify has been a lifesaver for me, probably literally. I&#039;ve tried at least a dozen different medications (for the treatment of depression and social anxiety) since I was 16 (I&#039;m now 25) and Abilify has probably shown the biggest improvement of them all. My mood is great most of the time, anxiety is reduced, and I have a lot more confidence than I used to. The one side effect: weight gain. I&#039;m hungry all the time and have gained 20-30 pounds. Previously my mental health took priority over my physical health because I was so depressed. Now that I&#039;m doing better I may cut back on Abilify in order to get back in better physical health. Hopefully the positive effects won&#039;t go away!"
