Insight of illness was assessed for both diagnostic groups by the PANSS insight item (G12) [ 14].
Self-certainty and scores on insight item PANSS correlated significantly in the schizophrenia, but not in the bipolar group.
However, it should be noticed that our study included a majority of subjects scoring no more than 4 on the PANSS insight item.
The significant pretreatment to post-treatment improvement on the BDD-YBOCS insight item was in the large range (t(18.44)=4.30, p=<0.001, d=1.07).
8– 10 For example, David et al showed that a single insight item predicted employment status over 2 years in a recent-onset mixed psychosis cohort from south London.
The insight item on the BDD-YBOCS was used to assess change in insight before and after treatment; other available instruments, such as the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS), 71 may have provided a more precise and sensitive measure of overvalued ideation.

It is a clinician-administered, semistructured interview consisting of 12 items; each rated on a scale from 0 to 4, which measures symptom severity during the past 7 days, in the form of intrusive thoughts (5 items), compulsions (5 items), insight (1 item) and avoidance (1 item).
Accordingly, an adjusted model was tested distinguishing three factors: the new factor labeled 'Insight' (items 1 and 2), 'Bond' (items 3, 5, 7 and 9) and 'Work' (items 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12) alliance.
Insight assessment was conducted in two sessions: the AMDP insight items and the SUMD were administered during the first session and the ITAQ was administered during the second session.
The second factor reflected 'attitudes to treatment', with high weightings on the ITAQ total score and the AMDP refusal of treatment item and moderate loading on the AMDP lack of feeling ill and the AMDP lack of insight items.
In regards to insight assessment, many studies have used unstandardized instruments, such as Item 12 on the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) [ 20, 39, 43, 48, 67] or insight items from general 'psychopathological inventories' (i.e., PSE [ 10, 17] or AMDP [ 9, 37]).
