Abstract
Adherence to medication is essential for achieving good outcomes for patients with bipolar affective disorder. This study tested whether treatment and illness beliefs are important predictors of adherence to medication. Results indicate that beliefs are predictive, and may be a suitable target for modification in efforts to change behaviour.
