Even though the scope of mental issues is relatively broad, Anosognosia is a critical psychological issue characterized by lack of self-awareness on the existence of a medical condition. In this condition, the patient lacks the rational capacity to comprehend the essence of medical attention. Notably, the existence of similar scenario is not voluntary as the neuron in the front part of the brain has been affected. The essence of the paper analyses the case of Ann W., a patient who has had symptoms that are disposed towards Anosognosia. Through the evaluation, the researcher depicts the vast range of characteristics that define this medical condition. Significantly, this condition is more prevalent among individuals who have demonstrated adverse mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder, and stroke. The most notable approach that can be used in diagnosis is the demonstration of adverse neglect of a person to seek medical assistance even when faced with precarious health situations. The condition can be resolved through two significant approaches including medication and therapy.
