Summary: In this study, three distinct trajectories of medication adherence in bipolar disorder patients were identified: deteriorating, improving, and consistently good adherence. Factors such as low depressive symptoms and good tolerance to psychotropic medications were associated with better medication adherence. The study highlights the heterogeneity and variability of medication adherence in BD patients.

Summary: Non-adherence to antidepressants is associated with worse disease outcomes and economic burden. This study found that nearly 20% of patients were non-adherent to antidepressant treatment in 2021. Different types of antidepressants varied in terms of non-adherence rates and costs. Reducing non-adherence to antidepressants is critical for improving clinical and economic outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of IBD patients, finding that the pandemic increased anxiety and depression but did not significantly affect medication adherence.

Summary: The study aims to identify multi-level barriers to medication adherence among adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and examine the relationship between these barriers and medication adherence levels. The study found that barriers at the community, institutional, and individual levels can impact medication adherence. Depression severity and patient concerns about medication were negatively correlated with adherence. Patients with fewer barriers tend to have higher medication adherence.

Summary: The study found that cognitive insight, along with prospective memory, significantly influenced medication adherence in schizophrenia patients. Time-based prospective memory had a stronger impact on medication adherence compared to other neuropsychological functions, indicating the importance of cognitive insight in improving medication adherence beyond clinical insight.

Summary: The study explores the impact of current and previous medical experiences on patient satisfaction, adherence, and reporting of non-adherence. Five themes were identified: physician-patient discordance, adherence associated with care satisfaction, impact of past adverse medical experiences, patient-physician control balance, and holistic care. The importance of listening to patients was highlighted, with patients wanting more emphasis on self-reported symptoms and quality of life in medication decisions.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluates the association of sociodemographic, clinical, personality, and quality of life related factors with medication adherence by analyzing data from the PsyCourse study. The results show that never having used illicit drugs, the number of prescribed antipsychotics, the personality trait conscientiousness, and the environmental domain of quality of life have the strongest association with medication adherence.

Summary: This study quantified social metacognition in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and explored its neuropsychological basis and impact on insight and medication adherence. The results showed a close association between confidence judgments and metacognition accuracy, as well as positive correlations between working memory, visual memory, reasoning and problem-solving, and metacognition. Poorer medication adherence was also associated with poorer metacognition. These findings have implications for monitoring adherence and providing psychoeducation for patients with high self-awareness of their ability to mentalize.

Summary: In a randomized controlled trial of varenicline for smoking among PLWHA, adherence to treatment and rate of nicotine metabolism were found to be associated with smoking cessation rates. Higher adherence and faster nicotine metabolism were related to higher quit rates, especially among adherent and fast metabolizers. Increasing adherence to varenicline and providing it to fast nicotine metabolizers may increase quit rates for PLWHA.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility of using public patient-generated health data from Twitter to identify diverse lupus patients and gather their perspectives. The results indicate that lupus patients on Twitter are diverse in gender and race, and their expressions of symptoms and medications vary significantly. This information can be valuable for the medical community to inform patient-centered care, especially for underrepresented patient groups.
