The number of patients with various mental disorders in China exceeds 100 million, and the number of patients with severe mental disorders has exceeded 16 million, of which about one-third of the patients fail to take medication regularly according to the doctor's instructions, and each time it will cause irreversible damage to the brain, so it is called on patients to be regular, and undergo surgery as soon as possible if necessary, so as to reduce the chance of disease and return to normal life as soon as possible.
Patients with mental illness often delay seeking medical treatment for many years due to lack of self-awareness, insufficient awareness of the guardian and the disease, and social stigma. According to the study, 72% of patients failed to take their medications as prescribed in a year, and once medication adherence was poor, patients** were twice as likely to be hospitalized again, and their symptoms improved by 34%.
