Diogenes Syndrome
Diogenes Syndrome is defined as a kind of disorder that affects a person’s behavior. Most often this disorder is accompanied by a passion for hoarding objects and neglecting personal hygiene. These combined conditions encourage an unhealthy life and a degradation of the housing in which the subject lives. Sometimes it is very difficult to detect this syndrome. What is certain is that people with this disease refuse to receive any help from the outside.
Identification of Diogenes syndrome
Often, it is difficult, if not impossible, to detect the symptoms of this disease. Symptoms vary from case to case. However, we know that a person with Diogenes syndrome tends to behave extremely. This could be his personal hygiene, the cleanliness of his place of residence or the accumulation of objects. In addition, there are rare cases with opposite symptoms. In these cases, the sufferer is obsessed with total cleanliness. As a result, their personal hygiene remains impeccable and their accommodation is absolutely empty. According to a French doctor specializing in the subject, the patient has an absolute need, but does not want to ask for anything. By this observation, there are three secondary criteria to cite:
- The link with objects: the patient does not want to throw away the acquired objects even if they remain unnecessary and dirty such as boxes, garbage, newspapers, etc. On top of that, the patient no longer wants to tidy up and clean. This causes significant insalubrity.
- The link with the body: Sometimes the affected person no longer takes care of their body and no longer feels the urge to wash.
- The bond with others: the person always stays away from others. She interrupts the relations he has with those close to him.

Actions to be taken to help the patient
Faced with Diogenes syndrome, the patient must be helped and supported by those close to him, even if he is resentful. To strengthen the support, it is essential to consider an extreme cleaning of the environment where the patient lives. This is how it can be protected from health danger. It is also important to follow up the patient psychologically with the help of a coach. Despite the complexity of this process, the patient still deserves support.
Call on a specialist company
In the case of such a behavioral disorder, cleansing turns out to be inevitable. The task at hand is colossal. An individual will not be able to carry out the cleaning operations himself. He has neither the products nor the materials useful for the operation. In addition, getting rid of objects stored for days, months, and even years requires a lot of techniques.
