Medication adherence in obsessive-compulsive disorders and evaluation of effective adherence support strategies

This study highlights the importance of a multifaceted approach to improving medication adherence in individuals with OCD. While SSRIs remain the primary pharmacological treatment, a significant portion of patients still struggle with adherence. Although TDM provides valuable insights into drug levels, it may not fully capture adherence behavior due to metabolic and behavioral variability. Addressing patient concerns about side effects and medication efficacy, alongside implementing behavioral strategies that integrate medication into daily routines, may improve adherence and enhance treatment outcomes.
