There are high rates of homelessness and incarceration and services are struggling to meet their needs. This is particularly a problem for the indigenous population. The current Mental Health Act allows for compulsory treatment of people who as a result of schizophrenia are seriously impaired in their capacity to care for themselves, and this will include people where there is a nexus between homelessness and their illness. The Mental Health Act is being reformed, with a new act likely to emphasize autonomy and capacity to a greater degree.

These deficits are commonly referred to as \"lack of insight\" or \"unawareness of illness.\" They include challenges in accurate judgments of the reality of experience, as well as global and specific personal abilities. Related to inaccuracies in self-assessment are response biases when an incorrect self-assessment is made. We adopted a perspective focused on Introspective Accuracy (IA) and Introspective Bias (IB). IA is the ability to accurately judge several domains of experience and functioning. These include the reality of clinical symptoms, the experience of mood states, momentary competence in the performance of cognitive assessments and everyday functional skills, and the ability to accurately anticipate the success of future performance. IB is the direction of response bias in the context of impairments in IA. Deficits in insight, judgment inaccuracies, and response bias are highly relevant as these difficulties come with downstream impacts including difficulties with treatment adherence, an increase in severity of symptoms, greater everyday disability, reduced response to cognitive training interventions, and a need for increased intensity of interventions to maintain community residence. In this article, we review the research in IA and IB in schizophrenia, including differences in momentary versus global self-assessments, and the clinical correlates and functional impacts of inaccurate self-assessments and response biases in the context of self-assessment errors. We also examine the existing data regarding the neurobiological basis of impairments in IA.</p>","PeriodicalId":10505,"journal":{"name":"CNS Spectrums","volume":" ","pages":"e24"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating insights from neuroscience with philosophical reflections on freedom and personal identity, the paper examines how various states of consciousness from interoception to self-awareness influence an individual's autonomy and decision-making capabilities. The discussion utilizes a multidimensional, bottom-up approach to explore how neurobiological processes underlie different levels of conscious experience and their corresponding types of freedom, such as \"intero-freedom\" related to internal bodily states and \"self-freedom\" associated with higher self-awareness. This stratification reveals the profound impact of neurological conditions on patients' freedom of choice and the ethical implications therein. The insights gained from this analysis aim to inform more tailored and effective treatments for psychiatric patients, emphasizing the restoration of autonomy and respect for their inherent dignity. This work underscores the essential unity of the human person through the lens of neuroethics, advocating for healthcare policies that recognize and enhance the personal freedom of those with mental health challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":10505,"journal":{"name":"CNS Spectrums","volume":" ","pages":"e4"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142812314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
