Anosognia arises in conjunction with other injuries — generally strokes and blindness. People who have lost the ability to control one half of their body will say that they just don’t want to move that part of their body. They’ll say that that half of the body is really working normally, after all. When doctors show that it isn’t working, they’ll say that the body parts that the doctors are pointing to belong to someone else, or even that they have three hands, arms, or legs, and are moving the ones that the doctors don’t see. There was even a case of a woman who had gone almost completely blind but insisted that she could see normally – cobbling together a ‘vision’ of what was happening around her from glimpses on the undamaged parts of her eyes, from memories, and from any sounds that she could hear around her.

Anosognosia is a lack of knowing that an impairement exists,inmemory,thinking skills,emotions,or movement.In this case ,a person may accept that he is ill,but will avoid dealing with itby not taking medicine .With anosognosia ,the person is not fully aware that there is illness.
