Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a serious and chronic mental health disorder that poses significant challenges for patients, families, and society, particularly due to issues with treatment adherence impacting prognosis.
- A study involving 320 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in Morocco identified that a majority (about 74%) were non-adherent to their medication, with factors like youth, lack of education, living alone, and severe symptoms contributing to this non-adherence.
- Findings also highlighted that non-adherent patients had more severe symptoms, poor insight into their condition, and experienced significant side effects from treatment, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies to improve adherence and outcomes.
