Anosognosia

Anosognosia is the denial of a problem and contrary to how simple I have just explained it, it is in fact a serious issue. It is mostly common with individuals who are already suffering from some mental illness. They refuse to have their medication because they in fact do not believe they have a problem. People who have anosognosia isn't being difficult, or refusing to face the truth, they are literally unable to believe that their  illness is, in fact, an illness. As a result, they do not see any reason to take medication that can control their illness. In some dire cases anosognosia can lead to worsening of their mental stability, in the case of paranoid schizophrenia, the patient might believe that people are conspiring against him to take medicines for some disease he believes he does not have. It is quite natural for a patient who is aware of his illness to seek medical help but when they genuinely do not believe they have an illness, the complications are huge.
