Schizophrenic insight

Schizophrenic insight (lacking insight, poor insight) is that some or many people with schizophrenia (sz) don't think or know that they have sz. [1][2][3][4]

For doctors, sz is about their jobs - employments where they earn money by people who are patients and things like science and research. People who doctors say have sz sometimes think they don't. Doctors describe these people as lacking insight. [5][6] To lack something is to not have something.

The words doctor use has meanings like: "The fact of penetrating with the eyes of the understanding", "deep", "the power or act of seeing into a situation". The whole idea is quite complicated. [7][8][9][10][11]

What doctors really expect from the idea of lacking insight is from at least since 1927, which is the year Dr. E. Minkowski described the idea of psychiatrists penetrating into the mind of patients for diagnosis. Dr. C. Jung (Jung is pronounced the same as young) had ideas sometime after 1909, which Dr. E. Bleuler described as "depth psychology".[12][13][14][15]

"Mental health literacy"[16] (literacy being literature) could be very similar or the same as insight.

The word insight means literally to see inside, which is in & sight, which is seeing. This is obviously not possible because the human eye is the organ of seeing. Situations where actually insight is really possible (which means the eye of the mind), by the definition of seeing inside, is mental visualization and dreams.

Both Dr S Freud and Dr Jung inhaled the smoke of the drug tobacco. Dr Freud inhaled tobacco from about when he started as a doctor. Dr Freud's ideas were used by Dr Bleuler in his idea of the symptoms of sz. Dr Freud was probably a tobacco drug addict. Also Dr Freud used the drug cocaine before Dr Bleuler knew about him. Dr Jung maybe inhaled tobacco quite a few years after when he first became a doctor. Tobacco is a drug which is dangerous with addictive. Tobacco is part of the nightshade family of plants. [17][18][19][20][21][22]

Both Dr Freud and Dr Jung wrote about and researched dreams. They both thought thinking about dreams and the meaning of dreams was important. [23]
