AB  - Atypical antipsychotics are now used for the treatment of mood disorders in a wide variety of patients. While several studies have focused on the safety and efficacy of antipsychotics in adults, data are lacking regarding adolescent patients. Additionally, adherence rates and predictive factors that are associated with adherence have not been thoroughly investigated. This study evaluated 156 adolescent patients with mood disorders 120 days following discharge from their first inpatient admission.
