Socioeconomic Status: Financial hardships can make it difficult for patients to afford medications or travel to treatment centers. Psychological Factors: Depression, anxiety, and fear of treatment side effects can discourage compliance. Complexity of Treatment Regimen: Complex or lengthy treatment protocols can be overwhelming and lead to non-compliance. Health Literacy: A lack of understanding about the disease and its treatment can result in poor compliance. Support Systems: The presence or absence of a robust support system can significantly influence a patient's ability to adhere to treatment.
