It is an anti-psychotic which is also used as a mood stabiliser. If you look at the info leaflet in your prescription, it will show that it is used as an AP but also for bipolar as a mood stabiliser.

i dont think i have a leaflet atm coz they have put me on 1 week dispense but i have read it several times before, must have missed that bit or forgotten doh
Yes it is used for mood stabalizing, but not just for bipolar disorder for any kind of mood disturbances. I was on this but stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago (long story, wont explain as it's not important.)
I found it quite helpful, it leveled my depression but didn't send me on a mental high like anti-depressants did. Hope you find it helpful

Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap....
Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know...

i've been on seroquel since august last year and my psych says it is used as a mood stabiliser. it is used for a range of mental health issues too. it makes you drowsy when you first take it but after a while it's not so bad. http://www.seroquelxr.com/
Yeah its used off label as a mood stablizer as well as an antidepressant and anti anxiety drug. I was recently put on it while in the hospital. I don't really know how its working as a mood stablizer but so far has been the best drug I've used for depression.
