Diogenes Syndrome
Few people like slovenly people. Although there are people who do not completely follow themselves and are geniuses in a certain field, the article will not cover them. We will talk about those people who have gone very far in their quest for savings and completely do not pay attention to the garbage mountains under their noses. Sometimes it shows very strong mental disorders, and sometimes it can be quite ordinary person.
People who suffer from this syndrome are not adapted to life and experience great problems in communication. The main problem lies in their lack of understanding and unwillingness to correct the situation, because it seems to them that everything is going well. Or they simply do not care what other people think about them - even the people closest to them, friends and acquaintances.
We have already touched on some of the symptoms in the designation of the term. Many people suffer from this syndrome and their symptoms may differ slightly. Nevertheless, the following symptoms are common to most of those experiencing this disorder.
- Disregard for yourself.
- Indifference, apathy.
- Isolation from the public.
- Stinginess.
- Non-compliance with hygiene rules.
- Uncleanness.
- Pathological accumulation.
- No shame.
- Absence of self-criticism.
- Aggressiveness in relation to criticism.
With pathological storage, the dwelling of such people is like a dump. On cleaning, it does not go at all. Even a simple move around the rooms can be difficult. Such people drag everything from the street: empty cardboard boxes, old furniture, strollers and other unnecessary things. The situation worsens because of an unpleasant smell, and also from the appearance of different creatures.
