Medication adherence in psychosis: predictors and impact on outcome.A 2‐year follow‐up of first‐admitted subjects

Abstract

In naturalistic conditions one out of two subjects with psychosis interrupts his/her treatment in the months following his/her first discharge from hospital. Therapeutic programmes aimed at improving medication adherence should be implemented early in the course of psychosis to reduce the deleterious consequences of poor medication adherence on clinical outcome.
