It is an atypical antipsychotic, which means it works by altering the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin.

It can also help to improve mood and behavior in individuals with bipolar disorder.

It is often prescribed when other medications have not been effective or have caused unacceptable side effects.
