Effects of short-term quetiapine treatment on emotional processing, sleep and circadian rhythms

Conclusions: These changes in sleep timing and circadian rhythmicity in healthy volunteers may be relevant to quetiapine’s therapeutic actions. Effects on emotional processing did not emulate the effects of antidepressants. The effects of quetiapine on sleep and circadian rhythms in patients with bipolar disorder merit further investigation to elucidate its mechanisms of action.
