Abstract

Objectives: To review the definition of non‐adherence, its clinical and economic impact and identify its role and impact in clinical practice. Methods: A selective review of the literature as conducted of articles and literature known to the authors. Results: There is a paucity of studies examining specifically treatment non‐adherence and its consequences in bipolar disorder. Few studies have systematically examined ways in which treatment adherence can impact treatment and improve outcome. Conclusion: Non‐adherence is common in the management of bipolar disorder. Clinicians and Researchers alike need to remain alert and be aware of issues related to non‐adherence – in particular suicide. Like other course‐modifiers non‐adherence has to be considered, sought and addressed, and this is perhaps best done by including psychoeducation in routine clinical care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
