Denial can serve a protective function in the acute phase of an illness by allowing the patient to process the diagnosis and come to terms with the implications of their illness before taking action. However, denial may be less effective during the rehabilitative phase or with chronic illnesses where acceptance and active participation in the treatment regimen are necessary for the best possible outcome.
