Varying definitions of nonadherence make a clear prevalence difficult to determine, but a recent nationwide bipolar disorder cohort study identified rates of nonadherence to treatment to be as high as 60%, with a mean prevalence of 40% [<span>1</span>]. The study included > 33,000 individuals with bipolar disorder, and approximately 60% were nonadherent at least once during the monitoring period. This begs the question, why? Nonadherence to pharmacologic treatment is not unique to bipolar disorder, but rates are notoriously high in mental health conditions. Reasons are multifactorial but include the number of comorbidities, young age, co-occurring substance use disorders, limited primary support system, psychotic symptoms, intensity of manic symptoms, and limited insight, amongst others [<span>1, 2</span>].</p><p>The consequence of nonadherence to treatment, especially in early disease bipolar disorder, can be dire. Manic exacerbations have been shown to result in brain damage, functional and cognitive impairment, and worse outcomes [<span>3, 4</span>]. Additionally, potentially due to increased impulsivity, bipolar disorder is strongly associated with increased loss of life due to suicide. The best way to prevent these exacerbations and deleterious outcomes is by maintaining adherence to efficacious treatment, thereby preserving brain function and quality of life.</p><p>In a recent article published in bipolar disorders, Vieta and colleagues expound on the landscape of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics for the treatment of bipolar disorder and provide expert consensus recommendations [<span>4</span>]. Key findings include moving past the preconceived notion that LAIs can be used only for bipolar disorder patients with severe disease, and utilizing LAIs as early as possible in the bipolar disease course, ideally during the first manic episode [<span>4</span>]. Historically, LAIs have been reserved for patients with chronic nonadherence to treatment and schizophrenia. However, robust evidence supports that LAIs can enhance fidelity to treatment, reduce psychotic and manic exacerbations, and reduce the risk of rehospitalization when compared to oral antipsychotics [<span>4</span>].</p><p>Bipolar 1 disorder can be difficult to treat, and individuals will often require multiple medications. However, polypharmacy has also been shown to reduce adherence [<span>1</span>]. LAIs can lower this burden by limiting the number of daily medications, providing consistent medication serum levels, and eliminating the guesswork about treatment adherence status. Using an LAI as the core treatment allows for rational polypharmacy and the utilization of other medications, such as lithium, in a synergistic manner. However, individuals are often not given the option of an LAI due to lack of healthcare provider awareness.</p><p>In recent years, there has been a ","PeriodicalId":8959,"journal":{"name":"Bipolar Disorders","volume":"27 2","pages":"152-153"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bdi.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143424481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
