| Abstract |
About 30% to 50% of people with schizophrenia experience lack of insight, meaning they may not acknowledge their illness or the need for treatment. Researchers have developed valid tools for measuring insight. Accordingly, a great deal of descriptive and correlational research has been done on insight, treatment adherence, symptom severity, and other associated variables. Several possible etiologic models and treatment modalities for lack of insight have been proposed. Possible brain dysfunctions causing lack of insight are being investigated. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing have been successful in teaching patients to cope with the symptoms and make changes in health-related behaviors. Ultimately, people with schizophrenia need to know how to ask for help with coping with their symptoms. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 October 2016.
All research outputs
#6,343,029
of 22,710,079 outputs
Outputs from Current Psychiatry Reports
#542
of 1,186 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,683
of 96,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Psychiatry Reports
#6
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,710,079 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,186 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 96,046 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
