Certain 3-amino-cycloalkanyl and cycloalkenyl derivatives of 5-cyano-substituted indoles of Formula I are useful antidepressant agents. ##STR1## The substituent R.sup.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl and R.sup.2 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl or --(CH.sub.2).sub.p --Ar with Ar being a phenyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl or 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl moiety. The symbol m is zero or 1, n is 1 to 3 and p is zero or 1 to 4.

Various metabolites and prodrug formulations of 8-[4-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]deca ne-7,9-dione which are particularly useful in the treatment of psychotic disorders, especially derivatives thereof which have been oxygenated at specified sites about the original structure, rearranged compounds, and prodrug formulations of these species. One particularly desired group of compounds have the general Formula I where ##STR1## R.sup.1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, acyloxy and oxo; R.sup.2 is hydrogen, methyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, and acyloxy;
