How Social Support and Therapy Affect Taking Medication in Bipolar Disorder
AI simplified
Abstract
Psychosocial interventions may reduce psychosocial disability associated with bipolar disorder.
- Randomized controlled trials show improvements in symptoms, psychosocial functioning, and treatment adherence.
- Standardized treatment manuals guide various psychosocial interventions with differing formats and durations.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy, family-focused therapy, interpersonal and social rhythms therapy, and psychoeducation have the most empirical support.
- Enhancing adherence to pharmacotherapy is crucial due to its association with relapse, hospitalization, and health care costs.
- Complex nonadherence behaviors often necessitate multicomponent interventions.
