SUMMARY:Anosognosia: A Primary Reason for Treatment Noncompliance\, Medication Refusal\, Substance Misuse\, and Other Problematic Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Anosognosia is a complex condition where a person genuinely lacks awareness or insight of the fact that they suffer from a disability\, disease\, or disorder. This lack of insight or awareness can extend to deficits that involve executive function\, emotions\, language skills\, judgement\, motor skill ability\, and memory. Anosognosia is distinct from denial\, as the symptoms of the person’s condition may limit or prevent thought processes that would enable the conscious choice of denial. Anosognosia has been observed among those with a history of traumatic brain injuries\, structural brain lesion\, neurodegenerative disorders\, schizophrenia and other serious mental health disorders\, and strokes. The consequences of Anosognosia can contribute to (a) treatment completion issues (b) higher relapse rates (c) medication noncompliance (d) poorer psychosocial functioning (e) anger\, aggression\, and violence (f) criminal justice involvement (g) homelessness\, and (h) increased utilization of crisis support services. Intended for professionals\, this training will examine the definitions\, symptoms\, causes\, and consequences associated with Anosognosia and its implications for justice-involved individuals. Tips\, strategies\, and solutions will also be discussed. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training. \nJerrod Brown\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, is a professor\, trainer\, researcher\, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses.
