Hello
Both the drugs you mentioned are anti psychotics and not antidepressants. So, the diagnosis must be something different.

Without actually knowing the symptoms profile correctly- it will be unwise of anyone to tell if the meds are right or wrong.

So, we need to know either his symptoms or proper clinical diagnoisis to help you.
Term Depression is used to refer to almost all pscyhiatric diagnosis by lay-man now a days.This almost carry no significance.
