Keeping these points in view this study has been conducted to find out the reasons for non-adherence among children and adoloscents. Objectives of the Study: To evaluate the factors responsible for non-adherence to psychiatric treatment among children and adolescents with major psychiatric disorders (Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorders) Materials & Methods - Study area: The study was conducted in three centres namely Manasmanochikitsa clinic, Rewa, a private psychiatric clinic, Trisonpaediatric clinic and KushabhauThackrey government district hospital , Rewa over a period of one year i.e. from January to December 2015. Study Population: Patients attending the ...

The assumption in much of this work is that patients have little option but to comply with the advice and instructions they receive. Studies have shown, however, that between one third and one half of all patients are non-compliant, but different authors cite different reasons for this high level of non-compliance. In this paper, the concept of compliance is questioned. It is shown to be largely irrelevant to patients who carry out a 'cost-benefit' analysis of each treatment, weighing up the costs/risks of each treatment against the benefits as they perceive them. Their perceptions and the personal and social circumstances within which they live are shown to be crucial to their decision-making. Thus an apparently irrational act of non-compliance (from the doctor's point of view) may be a very rational action when seen from the patient's point of view. The solution to the waste of resources inherent in non-compliance lies not in attempting to increase patient compliance per se, but in the development of more open, co-operative doctor-patient relationships.
