No -an antipsychotic: Seroquel, or quetiapine, is a second generation antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and bipolar disorder. It has been shown to be helpful in treating bipolar depression as well. It is not an anticonvulsant. If anything, it has the risk of lowering the seizure threshhold and making someone slightly more susceptible to seizures.

No: It is an atypical anti-psychotic (5ht2a antagonist), d2 antagonist). The data on lowering seizure threshold does not appear to show an elevated risk, unlike Clozaril (clozapine) for instance, or first generation anti-psychotics, though always check with your doctor.
