At a recent meeting on Bipolar Disorder, two presentations were devoted to this issue, and each highlighted the 50% rate of non-adherence in patients with the condition. This shocked most of the attendees, and it was a great reminder that a lack of treatment effect doesn't necessarily mean the drug itself is the problem. The greatest treatment in the world isn't going to help if it's not being taken. Perhaps it's worth remembering the role of allied health professionals, particularly pharmacists, who are able to monitor medication adherence a little more closely. By keeping an eye on how often a patient gets their repeats dispensed and also by casual, non-threatening conversations with the patient, non-adherence can be detected...but what can be done about it is another issue.
