Not additional: If your relative is still paranoid and/or psychotic on aripiprazole, her psychiatrist may need to adjust the dose of that medicine to see if it helps. If not, then perhaps a different antipsychotic could work better for your relative. Adding other supportive therapies may be helpful as well. Intensive outpatient programs, for instance, are set up to help people in these situations.
