Anosodiaphoria

Anosodiaphoria

Babinski (1914) used the term anosodiaphoria to describe a disorder of body schema in which patients verbally acknowledge a clinical problem (e.g., hemiparesis) but fail to be concerned by it. Anosodiaphoria usually follows a stage of anosognosia.
La belle indifférence describes a similar lack of concern for acknowledged disabilities which are psychogenic.
