D
The patient's nonadherence is most closely related to lack of insight into his illness. The patient believes he is an exalted personage who hears God's voice, rather than an individual with a serious mental disorder who needs medication to control his symptoms. Data do not suggest any of the other factors often related to medication nonadherence.
