Non-adherence to medication or treatment is one of the greatest challenges in psychiatry, especially among persons with bipolar disorders. Non-adherence is multi-factorial. Studying sociocultural factors as determinants of non-adherence is a neglected area. The current study has reviewed studies related to the sociocultural factors of non-adherence. The study revealed that sociodemographic, familial, religious, social support, stigma and healthcare system-related factors play a major role in determining non-adherence. Planning specific interventions based on sociocultural factors would help in reducing non-adherence rate among persons with bipolar affective disorder. This study gives a new direction for further research into the sociocultural factors of non-adherence, with greater scope for qualitative studies
