| Annotation | The Diogenes syndrome, also known as the squalor syndrome, is characterised by extreme self-neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal, apathy, a tendency to hoard rubbish, and a lack of shame. In this short paper, the author looks at the nature of the disorder, the terminology used to describe it, and how it relates to the issue of end of life decisions. (AKM). |
