Study of adherence to therapy in patients with schizophrenia depending on the duration of the disease and its clinical manifestations. Results of the original study

Introduction. A significant number of patients with schizophrenia do not take the recommended medications due to subjective intolerance to therapy, negative attitude towards medications, lack of critical attitude towards the condition, while non-compliance with the treatment regimen leads to worsening of the mental disorder. The currently available data on the relationship between compliance and clinical symptoms of schizophrenia, the features of its course are scattered and contradictory, therefore further research on treatment adherence depending on the clinical manifestations of the disease is necessary.
