There are several reasons why patients may become non-compliant:
1. Lack of Understanding: Patients may not fully understand their diagnosis, the importance of the treatment, or how to properly take their medications. 2. Side Effects: Adverse effects of medications can discourage patients from continuing their treatment. 3. Complexity of Treatment: Multiple medications or complex treatment regimens can be overwhelming. 4. Financial Constraints: The cost of medication and treatments can be prohibitive for some patients. 5. Psychological Factors: Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues can affect a patient's ability to adhere to treatment. 6. Cultural Beliefs: Cultural and personal beliefs can influence a patient's decision to follow medical advice.
