Obsessive-compulsive disorder with poor to absent insight – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1994177297

All definitional requirements of obsessive-compulsive disorder are met. Most or all of the time, the individual is convinced that the disorder-specific beliefs are true and cannot accept an alternative explanation for their experience. The lack of insight exhibited by the individual does not vary markedly as a function of anxiety level.
