- Patients taking insulin whose daily dose on one occasion in the past 4 weeks has been
more than 10% above or below their mean dose in the preceding 4 weeks.
(Note: If a diabetic patient meets one of these criteria, the patient must be excluded even if
the treating physician believes that the patient is stable and can participate in the study.)

Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: Secondary outcome measures to assess the treatment efficacy, compliance, quality of life, health economy issues and safety/tolerability.

Secondary study objectives will evaluate the influence of quetiapine XR with or without ICP participation on the following parameters during the study period:
Subjective well-being by SWN-K total score, symptomatic outcome by CGI-S and PANSS-8 scale, functional outcome by GAF, PSP, EQ-5D, and Vocational Occupational Index scores, quality of life by Q-LES-Q-18 questionnaire and RSM scale, patient engagement to therapy by SES scale, compliance/medication adherence by MARS scale, level of the patients' (subjective) satisfaction by CSQ-8 scale, health economy improvements, Safety and tolerability by evaluation of vital signs including weight/waist circumference, laboratory tests, concomitant medication, and the incidence of adverse events
Primary end point(s): The primary outcome variable is the rate of patients with SWN-K score = 80 after 18 months. Exploratory 95% CIs will be calculated for this primary variable for each treatment group as well as for the difference between the treatment groups.
Main Objective: Primary study objective is to assess the effect of quetiapine XR with or without concomitant participation in the ICP on the subjective well-being in patients treated for symptomatic schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, delusional disorder or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified, measured by the patients' self-report instrument SWN-K total score with a result of = 80 defined as the response limit for an adequate subjective well-being over a study treatment period of 18 months.
