The spectrum of Mental Health disorders is incredibly vast; we showcase the multitude of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior.
What is Anosognosia?
Anosognosia is a term in the mental health field derived from several Greek root words meaning “not or without”, “disease”, and “knowing”. Simply put, anosognosia is the phenomenon of not knowing that you have an ailment or disease. In the realm of mental illness, this is a common occurrence with many persons experiencing mental illness, as they can sometimes seem blissfully unaware of their symptoms. Sometimes, family members might label persons with anosognosia as being “in denial” that they have a mental illness. This refusal to accept a mental health diagnosis is often a harsh reality for many people. Families must cope with the fact that their loved ones may or may not ever get treatment or help for their symptoms, and those with mental illness feel frustrated that no one believes them or is on their side.

The Silence
There were moments when the noise in my head was so overwhelming that I couldn’t tell if I was hearing the world around me or if it was all coming from inside. The static was endless pulsing, relentless, vibrating in my ears, in my chest, in my bones. It wasn’t just the loudness of the world that crushed me. It was the constant pressure of needing to decode it, to understand what was expected of me, to play a part in this grand, chaotic play that I wasn’t sure I had a script for.
