Particularly the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising lurasidone, process of preparation thereof and method to treat various psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, memory or learning dysfunctions caused by schizophrenia, senile dementia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), central nervous system (CNS) disorder responsive to modulation of glutamate levels, major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and other associated CNS disorders.

Changes that occur in Na⁺K⁺ ATPase regulation and therefore in the membrane potential in cells from bipolar individuals, as compared to cells from unaffected control individuals, are utilized to provide a diagnostic assay for bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. The diagnostic assay may also or instead exploit the similarity of cells from new patients to those of people already known to have bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. A similar diagnostic assay is provided for diagnosing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and unipolar disorder. The diagnostic assays may further involve manipulation of membrane potential by incubation of cells in K⁺-free buffer and/or incubation with one or more compounds that alter Na⁺K⁺ ATPase activity. Although a variety of cells may be used, the diagnostic assays preferably employ lymphoblasts or whole blood cells.
