Effective treatment of bipolar disorder depends on medication adherence, yet few correlates of adherence have been identified. The pleasure experienced during some manic episodes may render some individuals reluctant to adhere to medications that reduce these 'highs'. Clinical observers identify denial of the severity or existence of illness as common to both bipolar disorder and addiction. The Alcoholics Anonymous model promotes acceptance as a pathway to abstinence adherence. This report hypothesized that acceptance coping would correlate positively and denial coping would correlate inversely with adherence to mood-stabilizing medication among individuals with bipolar disorder.
