Aripiprazole

Aripiprazole, which is also sold under the brand names abilify and aripiprazol, is an atypical antipsychotic drug and anti-inflammatory drug used for a number of different conditions including:
 * Agitated state
 * Autism
 * Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
 * Borderline Personality Disorder
 * Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
 * Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Theory
One hypothesized theory of aripiprazole’s mode of action is that it may work as a biofilm disruptor and affect the gut-brain axis that way.
