Lysakera,b,⁎, Giancarlo Dimaggioc, Kelly D. Bucka,d, Stephanie S. Callawaya,b, Gimapaolo Salvatorec, Antonino Carcionec, Giuseppe Nicolòc, Giovanni Stanghellinie **Many people with psychosis do not have insight to their illness** - “many people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are unaware of their illness [1,2]. Importantly, this phenomenon, which we will refer to as poor insight, may reflect a lack of awareness of a range of things and does not merely suggest ignorance of a holistic “truth.”” (Lysaker et al., 2011, p. 253) **There are different kind of insights** - “Poor insight may involve varying degrees of awareness of different facets of illness, including awareness of specific symptoms, treatment need, or the psychosocial consequences of the illness.” (Lysaker et al., 2011, p. 253) **Better insight** - “better insight was generally linked to greater levels of metacognitive capacity” (Lysaker et al., 2011, p. 257) - “Self-reflectivity was linked to awareness of symptoms, consequences of illness, and the total score; and the hinting test was linked to consequences of illness and the total score.” (Lysaker et al., 2011, p. 257)
