Non-adherence to prescribed medication regimens is not uncommon. Even the first patient treated with lithium remained compliant for only 6 month (Cade, 1949). For example, the positive feelings experienced during certain times in manic episodes may render some individuals reluctant to adhere to medication that reduces these highs. Alternatively, they may refuse to believe that stressor exists and try to behave as though it is not real. The prospect of indefinite treatment probably contributes to the high rate of non-compliance found among patient receiving drug treatment. In an early study, Soares, Stintzing, Jackson, and Skoldin (1997) piloted the effects of a simple education package on outpatients with bipolar disorder. The primary goals were to determine whether education would lead to changes in engagement with pharmaco therapy and use of inpatient psychiatric service. Their results indicated that little evidence of changes to medication adherence was found as a result of this intervention. As bipolar disorder is a complex illness, the effectiveness of any treatment programme would probably depend largely on its ability to target selective problems in specific phases of the illness (Jones, 2004).
