Detailed explanation-1: -Historically, OCD has been widely linked to the concept of insight. Insight represents a continuum that ranges from a lack of awareness to being fully aware of the absurdity of the obsessions and compulsions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders that have a cognitive component have insight as the basis for specifiers; in each of these disorders, insight ranges from “good or fair insight” to “poor insight” to “absent insight/delusional beliefs” with respect to disorder-related beliefs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Someone who’s considered to have OCD with poor or absent insight might not readily acknowledge their thoughts and behaviors as problematic or unreasonable. This can be considered psychosis. OCD with poor or absent insight is when symptoms of psychosis might appear.
Detailed explanation-4: -“The degree of personal awareness and understanding.” “The conscious recognition of one’s own condition of illness.” “A person’s capacity to understand the nature, significance, and severity of his or her own illness.”
