Subjective experience of illness is a critical component of treatment adherence in populations with bipolar disorder (BPD). This cross-sectional analysis examined clinical and subjective variables in relation to adherence in 140 individuals with BPD receiving treatment with mood stabilizing medication. Non-adherence was defined as missing 30% or more of medication on the Tablets Routine Questionnaire (TRQ), a self-reported measure of medication treatment adherence. Adherent and non-adherent groups were compared on measures of attitudes towards illness and treatment including the Attitudes towards Mood Stabilizers Questionnaire (AMSQ), the Insight and Treatment Attitudes Questionnaire (ITAQ), The Rating of Medication Influences (ROMI), and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC). Except for substance abuse comorbidity, adherent individuals (N=113, 80.7%) did not differ from non-adherent individuals (N=27, 19.3%) on clinical variables. However, non-adherent individuals had reduced insight into illness, more negative attitudes towards medications, fewer reasons for adherence, and more perceived reasons for non-adherence compared to adherent individuals. The strongest attitudinal predictors for non-adherence were difficulties with medication routines (OR 2.2) and negative attitudes towards drugs in general (OR 2.3). Results interpretation is limited by cross-sectional design, self-report methodology and sample size. Comorbid substance abuse, negative attitudes towards mood stabilizing medication, and difficulty managing to take medication in the context of one's daily schedule are primary determinants of medication treatment adherence. A patient-centered, collaborative model of care that addresses negative attitudes towards medication and difficulty coping with medication routines use may be ideally suited to address individual adherence challenges.
