Patients with acute behavioral denial had a decreased occurrence of subjective experience of fear and a more frequent occurrence of delayed depression. These denial reactions were independent of anosognosia. A subjective experience of fear was related to appropriate care seeking. An impaired subjective experience of fear may contribute, as with anosognosia, to an increased delay in consultation. All other emotional reactions were dissociated from the patients' subjective experience. |
