Beyond country-specific accessibility issues (e.g., healthcare infrastructure and availability/approval status), primary barriers to the effective use of LAIs were identified as attitudinal and knowledge/experience-based. Direct discussions between healthcare providers and patients about treatment preferences may not occur due to a preconceived notion that patients prefer oral antipsychotics. Moreover, as LAIs have historically been limited to the treatment of schizophrenia and the most severe cases of BP-I, healthcare providers might be unaware of the benefits LAIs provide in the overall management of BP-I. Improved treatment adherence associated with LAIs compared to oral antipsychotics may support improved outcomes for patients (e.g., reduced relapse and hospitalization).

Medication is effective in the acute symptomatic treatment, and maintenance pharmacotherapy prevents future episodes, if prescribed and taken indefinitely. Psychoeducation will increase insight and awareness of the characteristics of the illness, and thereby facilitate acceptance, self-management, and treatment compliance.</p><p>Anyone who has to deal with bipolar illness, either as a patient, a family member, a caregiver, or a professional, knows that the reality is far more complex. If this is true for the acute management and pharmacotherapy, it is even more for the time after the storm has calmed down. Subsyndromal residual symptoms and mood instability, subtle but annoying cognitive impairments, occupational and interpersonal problems as a result of past manic behavior, an injured self-image, and doubts about what to expect in the future, may all have a negative impact on psychosocial functioning and emotional wellbeing. Highly prevalent comorbid psychiatric conditions like anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse further complicate this situation.</p><p>Of the psychological approaches, psychoeducation is now a well-established intervention which is part of standard treatment. In addition, family-focused therapy (FFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) are also recommended in most clinical guidelines, in combination with pharmacotherapy. A major concern is: while most treated patients with bipolar disorder will receive pharmacotherapy, and many will have had some form of psychoeducation, how many do get one of these recommended psychotherapies? How many psychologists and psychotherapist have an interest in bipolar disorder, let alone will be trained in these specific interventions? Bipolar disorder has long been viewed as a highly biologically rooted psychiatric illness, where pharmacotherapy is the cornerstone of acute curative and long-term preventive treatment.
