    Author: Lenzi A, Lazzerini F, Placidi GF, Cassano GB, Akiskal HS.
    Journal: Pharmacopsychiatry; 1989 Jan; 22(1):34-7. PubMed ID: 2652160.
    Abstract:
    This study examined compliance with lithium and carbamazepine regimens from the perspective of the illness and its characteristics. Patients were more likely to stay in treatment when prophylaxis was begun following a depressive episode and in the presence of congruent psychotic experiences. The reverse was true for grandiose and manic patients and those with somatic preoccupations.
