context: Mental blindness is described as cognitive disorder that occurs when an individual is unable to return mental states to the self and the other. As a result of this disorder, the individual is not aware of other people's mental states. One cannot assign the beliefs and desires of others. [1] The ability to develop mental awareness of what is in the mind of an individual is known as "mind theory" (ToM). This theory allows a person to attribute our behavior and actions to various mental states such as emotions and intentions. Mental blindness is associated with autistic patients and Asperger syndrome who tend to show a social vision deficit. [2] In addition to autism, Asperger syndrome, and schizophrenia, research into the theory of mind and mental blindness recently extended to include other disorders such as dementia, bipolar disorders, antisocial personality disorders as well as normal aging.
