No, depakote is an antiseizure/mood stabilizer/antimigraine medication.
In bipolar patients in manic psychosis or depressive psychosis it may help end the psychosis by ending the mood episode, but its only acting indirectly. A antipsychotic should also be prescribed in these situations to directly control the psychosis.
