		Seroquel helps to manage your illness by treating a broad range of the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia without many of the disabling side-effects which are experienced with the older standard (‘Typical’) anti-psychotic drugs.
		It does this by interfering with the actions of chemical messengers in the brain which are thought to be out of proper balance in schizophrenia.
		The doctor will advise on the duration of therapy and Seroquel should not be stopped without getting the advice of the specialist first, even though the symptoms seem to have gone away or have been controlled satisfactorily.
