Can't say: Mixed? Manic? Depressed? Not enough info to know. Regarding which atypical to use - you won't really know until you have seen response to both. Abilify (aripiprazole) is now used to augment other meds for depression.

Your medication should be managed by a Psychiatrist who understands your medical and psychological history. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help.
