Anosognosia

When someone refuses to diagnose psychosis, it seems that he says "denying". However, people with severe mental illness may not choose to deny clearly and consciously. They may encounter "lack of insight" or "lack of consciousness". The official medical terminology of this condition is asymptomatic and comes from "no disease" in Greek.

When we talk about malformations of mental illness, we mean that someone does not know their mental health, they can not feel their condition accurately. Asymptomatic is a common symptom of certain mental illness, but for those who have never experienced mental illness, this may be the most difficult to understand.

Pathophysiology is relative. Self-awareness changes over time, sometimes recognizing your illness and making it impossible. When insight moves back and forth over time, people may think that they deny their condition for fear or stubbornness, but cognitive changes are typical aphasia.

We are constantly updating our psychological image. When we are tanning we will adjust our self image and expect to look different in the mirror. Once you master a new skill, you will add it to your self image and become more competent. However, this update process is complicated. It needs new information about the anterior tissue of the brain, makes a revised story and remembers a new self image.

Brain imaging studies indicate that diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as well as dementia may destroy this important area of ​​the brain. When the frontal lobe does not operate at 100%, one may lose or partially lose the ability to update their own self image.

If not updated, we will stick to the old self-image before the disease begins. As our opinion is accurate, we conclude that our loved one lied or made a mistake. If families and friends insist that they are right, the sick person may feel depressed or angry, or may start avoiding them

Asymptomatic symptoms develop in 50% of patients with schizophrenia and 40% of patients with bipolar disorder. It can also be related to diseases such as major depression with psychotic features. Treatment of these mental health conditions is much more complicated if lack of insight is one of the symptoms. People with aphasia have a higher risk of becoming homeless or being arrested. Learning to understand pathophysiology and its risks may increase the chances of helping people in this difficult condition.

For people with aphasia, this inaccurate insight is as realistic and convincing as the ability of others to perceive themselves. However, these misunderstandings cause conflicts with others and increase anxiety. Lack of insight often leads people to avoid treatment. This makes people stop the most common cause of taking medication. And because it is often combined with psychosis or mania, lack of insight may lead to reckless actions and bad behavior.

Approximately 50% of patients with schizophrenia and 40% of patients with bipolar disorder have abnormal symptoms. In stroke, Alzheimer's disease and other neurological diseases, it has long been recognized that malformation recognition studies in psychosis create increased evidence of anatomic damage in the brain, including self reflex. Several patients improved their insight when taking medication

In addition to aphasia, aphasia is a lack of consciousness to injury - most people do not even know that they are sick - and that affects up to 81% of Alzheimer's disease patients. Mom recently got the opportunity to speak with the treatment advocacy center to learn more about anesthesia and Alzheimer's disease. When President Woodrow Wilson caused a stroke in 1919, his physical health was slightly affected, but his mental health was affected. Film director Errol Morris wrote to the New York Times commentary, "His close colleague noticed his personality changed, he became more suspicious and more delusive. Mr. Edwin Weinstein examined Wilson's case in the 1970's and is a neuropsychologist who recognized that it is a typical case of malformation - lack of consciousness One person is damaged
