Abstract

Prolonged adherence to neuroleptic medication by patients with schizophrenia involves many complex issues. These vary markedly from case to case, and poor compliance is effectively resolved only when the attitudes and behaviors of individual cases are carefully analyzed. This article describes some of the aspects that commonly contribute to deficient compliance in clinical practice, and offers suggestions for resolving these problems.
