If a person is intelligent, they will understand they are ill and shouldn't be bothered by hallucinations or delusions.

Part of the definition of hallucinations and delusions in people with schizophrenia is that regardless of their intelligence or rational evidence to the contrary, the person believes this idea, or this perceptual experience, to be true. The experiences feel very real, which can cause tremendous anxiety. This occurs across the range of intelligence.
