When did seroquel come out?

When did Seroquel (quetiapine) first launch

Seroquel (quetiapine) was first approved and came out in the early 1990s. The brand began in the United States after FDA approval in 1997, following earlier regulatory activity in other markets. [1]

Was it approved for the same uses right away?

Seroquel’s earliest approval covered schizophrenia. Over time, the label expanded to include bipolar disorder and later other indications, which is why people often see different “come out” dates depending on whether they mean first approval, first U.S. brand launch, or when a specific use got approved.
