Quetiapine, commonly sold under the brand name Seroquel, is a type of prescription medication called an antipsychotic drug. These medications often treat conditions that can cause psychosis or losing touch with reality, but they also help with different kinds of depression and anxiety—especially when first-line treatments aren’t enough.
There are two types of antipsychotic drugs. “Typical” antipsychotics refer to the first generation of these drugs, which were developed in the 1950s. “Atypical” antipsychotics, which were introduced in the 1990s, are considered second-generation drugs. They are just as effective as typical antipsychotics but are much less likely to cause complications such as movement and motor control problems.
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic. It changes how certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) work in the brain.
Dopamine is a “chemical messenger” (neurotransmitter) that delivers instructions to nerve cells in the brain. It helps control mood, pleasure, motivation, memory, attention, and other functions. Serotonin is also a chemical messenger. It’s sometimes called the feel-good chemical because it helps regulate your mood and sense of well-being.
In people with depression or psychosis, dopamine and serotonin signals don’t work properly. Quetiapine works by blocking these abnormal signals.
QuetiapineFirst-generation antipsychotics, like Quetiapine, are usually thought of as second-generation drugs. They are actually second-generation drugs, meaning that they’re not tested extensively in the same studies as typical antipsychotics.
However, some research has looked at how certain first-generation antipsychotics might improve people with first-generation depression or psychosis with some results published in July 2023. The condition was called “major depressive disorder” or the “preferred diagnosis.”
The preferred diagnosis was called “major depressive disorder” and included seeing a doctor for a psychiatric evaluation or discussing other options with a mental health professional. However, the exact diagnosis may vary from person to person.
Most research looking at antipsychotics first-generation depression or psychosis hasn’t looked at whether they might help people with the condition. However, some research suggests that they may help people with the condition with some results published in July 2023.
Research on first-generation antipsychotics is still being done. However, the idea that they might help with major depressive disorder or psychosis is still a intriguing area of research. Some studies suggest that first-generation antipsychotics may be helpful for people with the condition, while others don’t. In other words, first-generation antipsychotics might be helpful for people with the condition who haven’t responded well to other treatments.
The next generation of antipsychotics—second-generation antidepressants (TCAs)—are also sometimes used to treat depression and psychosis. However, they aren’t FDA-approved for that use because there’s little evidence that they are effective for anyone with the condition. Also, there’s no way of knowing exactly which types of antidepressants are actually effective for someone with the condition. However, there are several types of antidepressants available.
TCAs may be helpful for people with the condition who haven’t responded to other treatments but don’t have the disorder itself. For example, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and other fluoxetine types can all have side effects. Some of the most popular types of TCAs are fluvoxamine, duloxetine, and fluvastatin. They’re also sometimes used to treat depression.
TCAs are also sometimes prescribed to people who haven’t responded well to other treatments but don’t have the disorder themselves. For example, citalopram, escitalopram, and other escitalopram types aren’t FDA-approved for this use but are sold under the brand name Cyramide.
There are several ways that a person with the condition can be helped by using a type of antipsychotic drug called. Quetiapine is sometimes given to people who haven’t responded to other treatments but don’t have the disorder themselves. However, other types of antipsychotics may also help with the condition with some results published in July 2023.
