What Is Latuda Prescribed For?
My son, who is 15, recently attempted suicide. He was in an acute inpatient facility, where they gave him Abilify, which I found is primarily used to treat schizophrenia. Now he is out of the hospital and seeing a psychiatrist in private practice. He now has an RX for Latuda, which I see is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar depression. Does this suggest that he is being diagnosed as schizophrenic? I see that he is depressed, but I've never seen anything close to schizophenia. Sorry, didn't know this had a fee...
