What Else Can It Be?

There are many other reasons that people stop taking their medications. Those that don’t see a very quick improvement in their symptoms don’t take them long enough to realize their benefits. Some medications take weeks to actually see a result in their use.

Those that suffer from depression even in just bouts also often face the problem of not wanting to take their medications due to this factor. Those that face depression of any severity should have someone to help them to remember to take their medications for their own well being.

Some people don’t take their medications because they don’t have them. There is no doubt that medications are not cheap and when you can’t afford them, you don’t get them. This problem is one that needs to be addressed by your doctor, you and the financial aid that may be available to you through governmental offices.

Finally, some patients don’t take their medication for bipolar disorder simply because they enjoy being in their manic stage. Still, this stage is only a stage and you are still putting yourself at risk of health related illness by not taking your medication!
