Paying people with severe mental illnesses to take medication may encourage some to stick to their drug regime, a team of London doctors says.
Marjorie Wallace, of the charity Sane, added: "This very small study highlights the desperate situation of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who depend on medication to prevent relapse of their condition.
"But we belive that offering what amounts to bribes to take medication that can cause serious side effects is no the answer."
