Evaluation of factors associated with medication adherence in patients with bipolar disorder using a medication event monitoring system: a 6-month follow-up prospective study.

Clinicians may have to consider the limited accuracy of self-reporting and clinician rating methods and exercise caution when assessing the medication adherence of patients with BD using these methods. Our findings may assist clinicians in the assessment and improvement of medication adherence in patients with BD and, consequently, may be useful for the treatment and prevention of BD recurrence.
