identifying a subject who has been prescribed quetiapine therapy; analyzing a fluid sample of the subject for the presence of a quetiapine metabolite; and identifying the subject as adherent to the prescribed quetiapine therapy if the fluid sample contains the quetiapine metabolite in an amount greater than a threshold level, or as non-adherent if the fluid sample contains no quetiapine metabolite or an amount of the quetiapine metabolite below the threshold level.
