Getting Treatment for People When They Lack Insight into Their Illness

Approximately 40% of people with schizophrenia are unable to understand that they have the disease because the part of the brain that is damaged by schizophrenia is also responsible for self analysis. Its important to note that the person is not "in Denial" (which suggest that through education alone the person might understand that they have schizophrenia); with schizophrenia you are frequently asking the sick brain to diagnose itself which may simply be impossible. For this reason involuntary treatment may be necessary as a last resort.
