[What is healing?].

Abstract

Is healing possible? Is it possible to walk the time back? That is, to be fully restored, to feel as sound as before the onset of illness? Is illness-with-no-lesion-left-whatever conceivable? Hence, cicatrization biological mechanisms which necessarily mean a change has occurred with regard to the previous state? Neurological anosognosis as a sign of brain injury. As regards mental diseases, the only means to evaluate the healing grade is by studying the nuance of nosognosis as evidenced by a patient. A distinction is thus to be made between illness awareness, and notion of illness.
