Stigmatization and Treatment Compliance in Bipolar Disorder - Abstract
Bipolar disorder is a common, serious and recurrent disease with high morbidity, mortality and disability rates. Stigma is seen in bipolar disorder as it is in all mental illnesses. With stigmatization, patients can isolate themselves from society. Stigmatization also affects the compliance of patients with treatment. When the literature is examined, it is seen that stigmatization in bipolar disorder affects treatment compliance negatively.
