Questioning dx?: I see your meds include "mood stabilizer, abilify, (aripiprazole) depakote". Some people with unipolar depression that is recalcitrant to treatment require addition of Abilify (aripiprazole) or mood stabilizers. So, these medications can be beneficial in certain cases with bipolar or unipolar affective disorder.
