Overview Of Seroquel

Seroquel Uses and Benefits

Seroquel is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. In patients with schizophrenia, the medication helps reduce hallucinations and delusions. It may improve motivation and clarity of speech, and it can help patients organize their thoughts more effectively. Seroquel is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in patients who are at least thirteen years old. For individuals with bipolar disorder, this medication is approved for the acute treatment of manic and depressive episodes, and it is also approved as a long-term treatment for bipolar disorder. When used as a long-term option, it can be taken alone, and some patients may take it with lithium or valproate. Seroquel is approved as a treatment for bipolar disorder in individuals who are at least ten years old. When used for the treatment of major depression, this medication is only approved as an adjunctive treatment for adults. It must be used in conjunction with an antidepressant, and it cannot be the only medication the patient takes to manage their depression. Seroquel is sometimes prescribed as an 'off-label' treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and delusional parasitosis. It may be considered for use in patients who experience delirium during hospitalization in intensive care.
