In the modern era of the Feighner Criteria and the subsequent Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals, the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and the phenomenology that helped inform it, have allowed clinicians and their patients alike to identify and label the disorder with increasing consistency. While essential to modern psychiatric treatment, diagnosis and phenomenological classifications alone must not be considered sufficient to understand any one patient’s illness. Working to appreciate an individual’s experience of illness, to hear their own unique story, is the cornerstone of successful treatment of any disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders notwithstanding.
Some patients with severe anosognosia will maintain that they do not have an illness and will persistently refuse treatment. Others may agree that they have an illness but still lack insight into their need for treatment. Still others may reject their diagnosis but appreciate the importance of treatment. These patients, for example, may recognize that antipsychotics help quiet “voices,” but do not believe that they have a mental illness. Anosognosia often persists for patients over time, to varying degrees, but it can fluctuate with the course of the illness.
