Abstract

This article focuses on investigating the personal characteristics of chemically dependent individuals with
different levels of drug anosognosia. Our study revealed that the severity of anosognosia is directly linked to
the personal traits of chemically dependent individuals. Moreover, narcotic anosognosia serves as a
psychological defence mechanism and a coping strategy for dealing with addiction. The identified aspects of
the internal perception of dependence on psychoactive substances can serve as differential diagnostic criteria
when determining the appropriate psycho-correctional approaches for chemically dependent individuals.
