Recognition and classification of disorders is a matter for clinicians and academics in the relevant field. Relatively little is known about aphantasia and the impact it may or may not have on health and wellbeing.

If someone believes they may have the condition and it is impacting on their health and wellbeing they should discuss this with their general practitioner.
