Mental state of denial:
Denial means declining or refusing to do something or accept something. It is the act where a person does not comply with a request. Denial in psychology is also the name for defense mechanism.
People generally use it to block out pain and bad memories of the past. This happens when the brain refuses to acknowledge disagreeable realities at a conscious or unconscious level. It is done to save oneself from the emotional distress. There are different type of denials like:
- Denial of Fact
- Denial of responsibility
- Denial of Impact
- Denial of awareness
- Denial of Cycle
- Denial of denial
Its a very common defense mechanism and most of the people at some point or the other seek refuge in denial but when the state prolongs it becomes a dangerous situation.
