Trajectories of medication adherence in patients with Bipolar Disorder along 2 years-follow-up.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and severe mental illness. It requires a non-discontinued pharmacological treatment to prevent mood recurrences but nonadherence to medication is frequent. To this date, medication adherence in BD has been mostly evaluated in cross-sectional studies and often considered as a stable trait.

Neuropsychological functioning, age, and medication adherence in bipolar disorder.

Objectives: Poor adherence to medication is frequent in bipolar disorder (BD) and has been associated with several factors. To date, the relationship between low adherence and neuropsychological functioning in BD is still unclear. As age and neuropsychological functioning might have opposing influences on adherence, our aim was to investigate this link with a particular focus on the effect of age.

Grey matter density changes of structures involved in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after recovery following Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Recovery of stress-induced structural alterations in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to determine whether symptoms improvement is associated with grey matter (GM) density changes of brain structures involved in PTSD. Two groups of PTSD patients were involved in this study.

Adherence to medication is associated with non-planning impulsivity in euthymic bipolar disorder patients.

Background: Adherence to medication is a major issue in bipolar disorder. Non-planning impulsivity, defined as a lack of future orientation, has been demonstrated to be the main impulsivity domain altered during euthymia in bipolar disorder patients. It was associated with comorbidities.

Depressive residual symptoms are associated with lower adherence to medication in bipolar patients without substance use disorder: results from the FACE-BD cohort.

Background: Poor adherence to medication is frequent in Bipolar Disorder (BD). It is associated with illness severity and increases total medical cost. Several factors are associated with poor adherence but previous studies included heterogeneous cohorts of patients with and without current mood episode, with and without SUD.
