Medication Adherence in Parkinson’s Disease: Longitudinal Changes and the Influence of Depressive Symptoms
Medication adherence in PD is a dynamic process and changes over time. The findings suggest that while educational interventions are effective in improving knowledge and reducing intentional non-adherence, addressing depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment is critical to improving overall adherence. Future research should continue to explore the factors that influence adherence behaviors and develop targeted strategies to help people with PD maintain adherence throughout the course of their disease.
