This session will review risks factors and reasons for nonadherence in this patient population and strategies to improve adherence, which could lead to positive patient outcomes.

Learning Outcomes: After the session, attendees will be able to identify reasons for nonadherence in patients with mental illness and strategies to improve adherence to medication regimens.
