Association Between Depression and Medication Adherence Among Post-myocardial Infarction Patients in a South Asian Clinical Setting

This study, unlike the majority of the previous findings, reported a minor positive correlation between self-reported medication adherence and depressive symptoms in post-MI patients. The findings indicate that, in particular, in the cultural backdrop, depressive symptoms can be present alongside more health conscientiousness or planned-out care use. Comorbidities and complexities of treatment should be assessed, and mental health screening and adherence support to medications should be a component of post-MI care strategies.
