Abstract
Background and Aim: Adherence to medication is an important part of patient management, Adherence rates may be lower among patients with psychiatric disorders compared to patients with a physical disorder. Our aim was to measure adherence to medication among outpatient psychiatric patients, and the factors associated with it.
