虽然患者教育被认为可以促进药物依从性，但锂治疗期间药物知识的获得与依从性之间的确切关系尚不清楚。一项对50名接受锂盐维持治疗的中国患者的调查显示，他们对锂盐治疗的医学知识（通过“锂盐问卷”测量）非常有限。尽管如此，通过多项标准，发现这些患者中有70%是良好的依从者，并且锂依从性显然不受患者所拥有的药物知识的影响。有人认为，在进行患者教育以提高锂依从性的过程中，一个健全的治疗联盟比纯粹的知识获取更重要。
Although patient education is believed to promote medication compliance, the exact relationship between the acquisition of drug knowledge and compliance during lithium treatment is unclear. A survey of 50 Chinese patients on maintenance lithium therapy revealed that their medical knowledge about lithium treatment, as measured by a "Lithium Questionnaire," was very limited. Nonetheless, 70% of these patients were found, by multiple criteria, to be good compliers, and lithium compliance was apparently not affected by the amount of drug knowledge that patients possessed. It is argued that in the process of conducting patient education to enhance lithium compliance, a sound therapeutic alliance is more important than sheer knowledge acquisition.
