'Insight', which is an indication of patient's understanding about his/her illness, needs particularly sensitive measures for its assessment. A questionnaire regarding insight, and brief psychosocial profile of the patients was applied to 103 cases. The cases were categorized according to the diagnosis and initial understanding of mental illness and 'insight' by the patients in our culture. The study did not support the popular belief that neurotics have and psychotics do not have insight.
