The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. (Primary Outcome) Change in serum Glutathione levels following 6 weeks of intervention in both the arms

2. (Secondary Outcomes) Change in serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels following 6 weeks of intervention.

Change in ISAA score following 6 weeks of intervention. Change in ABC-C score following 6 weeks of intervention. • Adverse events reported in both groups

Details of intervention- One arm of the study population to get Risperidone 1mg/day for a total duration of 6 weeks and another arm to get Aripiprazole 2mg/day for a total duration of 6 weeks. Baseline assessment of Serum Glutathione, Serum SOD, ISAA scale, ABC-C scale will be done and same will be assesssed at 6 weeks follow up.
