Effectiveness

How Seroquel Affects Patients

Quetiapine can help to treat symptoms of schizophrenia and major depression by targeting certain brain chemicals. It can also help with both depression and mania in bipolar disorder. However, this drug should not be given to children under 10 years of age as it can lead to suicidal thoughts or behavior. Elderly patients should not take this drug either, as it has been linked to an increased risk of death.

How Seroquel works in the body

Quetiapine works in the body to treat symptoms of schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. It does this by blocking certain receptors in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. Quetiapine also works on other receptors that can cause drowsiness, low blood pressure, and dry mouth.

Patient Review

7/25/2022

Seroquel for Repeated Episodes of Anxiety

After two weeks of taking this medication, I noticed a significant decrease in anxiety levels. Additionally, my mood became more stable and I was less irritable. I would recommend this to anyone struggling with bipolar disorder or severe anxiety.

Patient Review

10/5/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar I Disorder with Most Recent Episode Mixed

This medication has definitely helped me sleep better at night. The only downside is that I have occasional nightmares. Other than that, my mood is much improved and hallucinations are no longer an issue.

Patient Review

9/6/2022

Seroquel for Mania associated with Bipolar Disorder

Seroquel has been hugely effective in curbing my mania, and as a result, the crashes that come after. I also find that my mind is more clear and less agitated overall.

Patient Review

2/5/2022

Seroquel for Repeated Episodes of Anxiety

I've struggled with debilitating panic attacks for years, but this treatment has really helped. I take 100mg daily and it's made a world of difference. The only downside is that it gives me the munchies!

3.3

Patient Review

12/1/2021

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

I was diagnosed with depression and this medication really helps me sleep at night. The only downside is that I need to take Adderall in the morning or else I can't get out of bed until noon.

Patient Review

10/3/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar I Disorder with Most Recent Episode Mixed

I didn't like this pill. I took it for two months and then had to stop because my body got used to it and I couldn't sleep at night. My moods were all over the place and I was wide awake all the time with racing thoughts that I couldn't control. It made me feel numb to the world and I didn't want to be around anyone.

2.7

Patient Review

3/16/2022

Seroquel for Mental Disorder with Loss of Normal Personality & Reality

Seroquel was successful in treating my depression and anxiety-related mood swings; however, I experienced debilitating drowsiness as a side effect. This made it difficult for me to get through the day without needing a nap.

Patient Review

6/12/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

I gain a lot of weight very quickly since I started taking this medication, which has been incredibly frustrating. Additionally, it's made me feel tired and groggy all the time. Overall, not recommended.

1.7

Patient Review

9/28/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar Disorder in Remission

Seroquel did very little to help with my bipolar II diagnosis. I felt groggy, dull, and gained weight while taking it. Nightmares also. Very unpleasant and frustrating. Switched to Lamotragine and felt much better.

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

This drug is pure poison. Seroquel gives you diabetes, high triglycerides and puts stress on your liver. When I started taking it, my doctor put me on 1000mg to start. I slept for a week straight. I'm down to 200mg now, and I take a week off of this drug every so often to cleanse my body from the poison.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

7 - 14
All Sexes
Houston, TX

One of the most common and widely disseminated trauma treatments is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT is a therapist-led, structured and sequential intervention, with treatment organized around P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E. (Psychoeducation, Parent training, Relaxation, Affective Regulation, Cognitive Coping, Trauma Narrative, In-Vivo Exposure, Cognitive Reprocessing, and Enhancing Safety) components. Stepped Care Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children after Trauma (SC-CBT-CT) is an alternative delivery system that incorporates the best available evidence on the treatment of childhood Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) within a stepped care model and utilizes task-shifting with caregiver involvement, which engages caregivers in actively helping their children. Stepped care approaches are characterized by a personalized approach to care in which a lower intensity (i.e., fewer number of sessions) intervention is initially provided before the child is reevaluated or ''stepped up'' for additional care should symptoms persist. The goal of this study is to assess a personalized modification of SC-CBT-CT for Latino families (pSC-CBT-CT). The hypothesis is that personalizing SC-CBT-CT will improve outcomes for Latino children.

Ketogenic Diet and Neuromodulation for Depression

18 - 65
All Sexes
Toronto, Canada

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether combining a ketogenic diet (KD) with personalized, accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) produces greater reductions in depressive symptoms than iTBS combined with a standard healthy diet in adults with treatment-resistant depression. The trial also aims to determine whether participants can feasibly follow a ketogenic diet during an accelerated iTBS treatment course and whether the diet produces measurable changes in ketone levels. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether the combined intervention: 1. Reduces depressive symptoms 2. Increases circulating ketone levels 3. Is feasible and tolerable during accelerated iTBS treatment Participants will begin either a KD or a Canadian Food Guide-aligned diet (CFGD) with a 3-week dietary lead-in period, after which they will undergo a course of personalized, accelerated iTBS while continuing their assigned diet. Before and after the iTBS treatment course, participants will complete clinical assessments, provide blood samples for metabolic testing, and undergo MRI scans to assess brain connectivity. Ketone levels will be measured daily throughout the 12-week dietary intervention. Within-group and between-group differences will be compared to characterize changes in clinical outcomes, metabolism, and brain functioning.

The goal of this prospective, randomized clinical trial is to learn whether pharmacogenomic (PGx)-guided comprehensive medication management delivered by pharmacists in community pharmacies will improve antidepressant treatment outcomes. The primary aim is to determine whether comprehensive medication management with review of PGx testing results improves depression symptoms, compared with usual care. Participants 18 years of age or older who have undergone PGx testing (e.g. through an independent biobanking study (Pitt+Me Discovery) who require initiation or adjustment of antidepressant therapy will be randomly assigned to receive either PGx-guided comprehensive medication management or usual care. Those who receive usual care will receive their PGx results at the end of the study. Researchers will compare the groups to assess whether PGx-guided care provided in partnership with community pharmacists and prescribers results in better depression and medication outcomes.
