Hi

i had gone through your query.

Mood disorder has various subtypes and treatment are different for each subtypes.

Olanzapine has dual role in psychotic and mood disorder.
Feliz is antidepressant and can be given in depression.

So it is difficult to say on that much details.

But yes if she is not improving then need to re evaluate her diagnosis and need to change medicines.

So discuss with your treating psychiatrist for this and get help.

Thank you.

I hope i have answered your query.
