Seroquel cannot cause schizophrenia. It is designed to treat schizophrenia.
It is a common psychotic delusion to believe that an anti-psychotic such as Seroquel causes, rather than treats a psychotic disorder. This is because Seroquel, and all drugs of the anti-psychotic class used in the treatment of severe psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, cause uncomfortable side effects when initially administered. A schizophrenic who resists treatment will identify those side effect symptoms as the disorder through the process of rationalization.
