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.

One moment, you’re coasting through life, and the next, you're watching the fractures spread in all directions, like delicate spiderwebs reaching their way across the glass. That was me, sitting alone in my apartment, staring at my reflection in a cold cup of coffee, realizing that something had shifted irreversibly inside me.
