Abstract
Patients with psychiatric disorders have high rates of medication nonadherence. Though there are many factors that contribute to medication nonadherence, lack of patient understanding about how to manage medication-related problems when they occur is associated with medication discontinuation. This article describes the importance of teaching patients to solve medication-related problems and discusses the scientific evaluation of such a practice.
