摘要
Although most, patients will derive some benefit from appropriately prescribed medication for various mental disorders, many patients do not always take medication reliably. Therefore, medication adherence is a practically important issue in pharmacotherapy practice. In this article, I discuss the importance of medication adherence, the factors associated with poor adherence, and some approaches for improving adherence.
