Nonadherence in mood disorders poses a significant obstacle to remission and recovery. A comprehensive approach that includes evidence-based strategies have been shown to improve adherence customized to the individual needs of the patient resulting in improved quality of life and reduced disease burden. This is further strengthened by identifying risk factors, establishing therapeutic alliances, and educating patients, families and other healthcare providers.

Article Synopsis
- PTSD negatively impacts the adherence and effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in veterans with HIV, leading to increased nonadherence and modifications in treatment.
- This study analyzed over 22,000 person-years of data from veterans who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, finding a 6% increase in nonadherence and a 38% increase in ART modifications linked to PTSD.
- Veterans with multiple deployments saw an even greater likelihood of nonadherence; the impact of PTSD on treatment changes was most pronounced in the first decade after diagnosis, highlighting the need for regular PTSD screening in this population.

Patients' collaboration with healthcare providers, along with their individual dedication to follow medical recommendations, is a crucial component of effective therapy in chronic diseases. If a patient fails to fill their prescription, administers the medication improperly in terms of method and/or dosage, misses follow-up visits, or discontinues the treatment for any reason, these lapses can adversely affect disease management, impairing the effectiveness of symptom relief and prevention of progression and complications. A comparable situation pertains to allergic diseases, which require long-term and consistent treatment to achieve symptom alleviation and control.
