A member asked:
What are the causes of people with a mental illness to refuse medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psych Meds: First of all it is difficult to accept that someone has a mental illness, also even now there is a taboo in society towards those who have mental illness. Being in denial, society pressures, sometimes people with mania who are super happy and energized dont want to accept mental illness. Sometimes voices or paranoia may prevent patients from taking meds.
