I would imagine anosognosia could be worse. I know someone who delayed diagnosis and treatment because they didn't believe anything was wrong with them (although it was obvious to everyone around them)

As an anlogy, consider how hard it would be to convince a random person they have to take diabetes medication if they don't have it. It is the same way convincing a schizophrenic person with anosognosia to take antipsychotic medication.
