Can Risperdal be taken for depression and anxiety?
human
Is Risperdal sometimes used for depression and anxiety? My daughter is beginning to see a psychiatrist for these symptoms and Risperdal is the second medication he put her on and everything I am reading does not list these as symptoms that it helps with.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! In my opinion it is necessary when anti-anxiety drugs are not effective alone. Also cognitive behavioral-therapy with trained therapist is beneficial. Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query. Take care Regards, Dr. Gayathri, Psychiatrist
