Can the medication serequel hurt my liver? becuz im 18 years old and a male and i already have enough mental problems going on and high liver enzymes.

Not generally: Seroquel (quetiapine) will often cause a rise in liver enzymes. However, this tends to resolve in a couple of months. It is best to keep taking your medication and follow the monitoring regimen from the prescribing doc.

Define "hurt"!: Check out https://online.Epocrates.Com/noframe/showpage.Do?Method=drugs&monographid=1230&activesectionid=5 which notes that liver enzymes alt & ast can be transiently elevated. Then have a discussion w/your prescribing doc to weigh risks & benefits. Ask about alternative medications which may not offer same benefit, may be too expensive, may cause other side effects, etc. Make sure no other reason.
