“D’s” children had not spent time with him when he lodged his application to the Family Court for equal shared time. The experts made observations consistent with parental alienation and recommended the children spend time with him. They assessed that the children’s mother abused them, making them believe that he was a “bad dad” and that they had a right to choose.

You may have anosognosia

If you answer “yes” to two or more of these questions, you may have anosognosia:

  • Has a family member or friend ever told you to seek psychological treatment?
  • Do you think everybody is out to get you or doesn’t want to see you happy?
  • Do people express skepticism when you tell what you believe about provocative subjects?
  • Do you have trouble keeping a job?
  • Do you have difficulty maintaining close relationships?
  • Do you think psychiatry is a type of pseudoscience?
  • Are you addicted to prescription or nonprescription opioids or stimulants?
  • Have you ever been placed temporarily in a hospital for emergency psychiatric care?

Even after experiencing homelessness, incarceration or physical harm, many people with anosognosia still refuse to admit they have a mental illness.

Denial or Delusion?

A thin line exists between denial and delusional thinking. The difference between the two involves the dismissal of truth and a belief in something that’s blatantly false. Denial is a product of the subconscious designed to protect our psychological equilibrium and reduce the stress of an unacceptable reality. It often gives us time to absorb and assimilate an uncomfortable fact that, when we allow ourselves to think about it for just a second, floods our system with such powerful emotions that our coping abilities are overwhelmed and essentially deactivated.

On the other hand, delusional beliefs don’t deny something. Instead, delusions affirm the validity of an unsubstantiated belief. A sign of a deeper mental illness, delusional thinking typically revolves around beliefs that the individual is being watched, attacked or controlled by certain entities such as extraterrestrials or government spies. Although someone holding a delusional belief cannot provide a rational answer for their belief, it’s difficult to get them to change their mind, even when they’re confronted with hard, factual evidence.

What Is Anosognosia?

Anosognosia is a condition in which someone refuses to recognize a physical, mental or behavioral health condition.

Strokes and traumatic brain injuries are common causes of physical anosognosia, but the mental and emotional varieties of the condition — also known as “lack of insight” — are less understood.

Researchers think damage to high-level processing of sensory information interferes with a person’s ability to sense bodily or spatial representations. In some cases, individuals with anosognosia may have multiple impairments but only acknowledge one impairment while remaining unaware of the others.

What Does a Psychodiagnostic Assessment Tell Me?

The Psychodiagnostic assessment may help determine if there are specific ways of thinking, personality characteristics, or mood related factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.) that may be interfering with your functioning. This information may help your mental health care provider arrange for an optimal treatment plan. For example, some people have personality traits or characteristic ways of thinking about problems that can interfere with their progress in therapy. Psychodiagnostic assessment can help clarify these issues so they can become a target for treatment.

How Does a Psychodiagnostic Assessment Work?

The Psychodiagnostic assessment typically involves an interview and specialized measures and questionnaires targeting description of thought processes, personality characteristics, and mood state. A typical assessment will take several hours of examination time, after which the psychologist spends additional time analyzing the results and preparing a report. The report is usually provided to your mental health care provider to help them make decisions about your care.
