uestion: Does the patient have good insight into their mental illness and the need for medication to control it, and a good therapeutic alliance with the physician, or is the patient at least in a supervised setting (hospital, residential program, family home) where there are people who ensure that the patient takes prescribed medication and the patient is cooperative with this supervision?

• Yes: good insight/alliance, or at least good supervision/structure
• No: neither is present (and cannot be arranged), so patient is very likely to discontinue medication again
