Compliance
Compliance to medication is essential to maintaining stability.So why is it the number one headache when treating the mentally ill? First, patients have the right to refuse meds. They make uninformed decisions about treatment or are merely exhibiting symptoms of their illness,such as paranoia.The result is they get sicker and continue to refuse. Meds solidify the fact that you have an illness. Taking them affirms that you need them.A hard pill to swallow!!Yet medication compliance is crutial to wellness. Side affects are another reason people refuse.But there are side affects to all treatments of many diseases.We follow the treatment regimine to save our lives.So it should be with mental illness.
