  • Mental illness denial or mental disorder denial is a form of denialism in which a person denies the existence of mental disorders. Both serious analysts and pseudoscientific movements question the existence of certain disorders. In psychiatry, insight is the ability of an individual to understand their mental health condition, and anosognosia is the lack of awareness of a mental health condition. Certain psychological analysts argue this denialism is a coping mechanism usually fueled by narcissistic injury. A minority of professional researchers see disorders such as depression from a sociocultural perspective and argue that the solution to it is fixing a dysfunction in the society, not in the person's brain.
