What do we mean when we say a disorder is ego-syntonic?
Answer:
Personality disorders are usually described as ego-syntonic, which means the ideas or impulses with which they are associated are acceptable to the person. These people do not see themselves as disturbed and do not have insight into their problems. Most other forms of mental disorder are ego-dystonic, which means the people that experience these disorders are distressed by their symptoms.
