I disagree, I was using it to self-medicate for my Bipolar Disorder,
and it was quite effective. But I had to quit, and Seroquel actually
works much better for me, as there are no side effects, for me.

effective for certain seizure disorders. There are actual studies
being done recently that show anti-cancer properties as well as
growing neural tissue:
