<![CDATA[Introduction: Mental disorders are chronic, incurable diseases, so patients with mental disorders often experience relapse. The incidence of relapse has increased from 54% in 2021 to 80% over the past five years. The causes of relapse vary widely, including non-adherence to treatment, family support, economic problems, and social stigma. This study aims to identify the dominant factors that cause relapse in patients with mental disorders. Methods: This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size was 40 with a consecutive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used were a questionnaire on family support, medication adherence, and respondent characteristics. Results: The results of the study showed a relationship between gender and the incidence of relapse p value 0.398 (> 0.05); income with the incidence of relapse p value 0.071 (> 0.05), scheduled activities were not related to the incidence of relapse p value 0.94 (> 0.05); Family support was not related to the incidence of relapse p value 0.168 (> 0.05); Treatment adherence and relapse incidence p-value 0.629 (>0.05). Conclusion: Gender, income, and scheduled activities are not associated with relapse incidence in patients with mental disorders. Recommendation: Based on the study results, it is recommended that research be conducted on the relationship between duration of mental illness, family knowledge of mental disorders, and social acceptance.]]>
