Anosognosia is a symptom often experienced by someone with schizophrenia who can not recognise that they have a mental illness.
This is something which I believe is so important for carers to be informed about at the beginning of their child's experience of psychosis and I am shocked by the lack of information given to carers on this subject.
I found this article online from NAMI really helpful in understanding what lack of insight really is and I wish it had been explained to me sooner. It helped me to gain an understanding of why my daughter refused to engage with mental health teams or take medication.
Please see link below, I hope you find it as helpful as I did.
