Abstract
Quetiapine is the most often prescribed atypical antipsychotic. It is indicated as the first-line, registered and off-label psychiatric treatment for many disorders. Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic administered for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, reactive disorders (e.g. PTSD), anxiety (e.g. GAD), behavioral disorders, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, insomnia, alcohol dependence, Tourette syndrome, and many other disorders. Nowadays, quetiapine is being widely used mostly in non-psychotic disorders. This paper presents the review of cutting-edge research works about quetiapine.
