The internal picture of the disease is “everything that is experienced and underwent by the patient. The whole complex of feelings, the general state of health, self-observation, his idea of his illness, its causes ... the entire vast world of the patient, which consists of the very complex combinations of perception and sensation, emotions, affects, conflicts, mental experiences and traumas” [4–6]. The internal picture of the disease should be viewed as a single acting system, all components of which are closely interrelated and constantly interact with each other. When analysing the structure of the internal picture of the disease, it is important not only to separate its individual components, but also to differentiate them.
