How does Seroquel Work?
Scientists are not entirely sure how Seroquel treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Scientists know, however, that Seroquel blocks and reduces certain chemicals’ effects on the brain. These brain chemicals include dopamine and serotonin. Schizophrenics and bipolar patients may have elevated dopamine and serotonin levels. Seroquel reduces these chemical levels and helps control the disorders’ symptoms.
