Diogenes syndrome
Diogenes syndrome, also known as senile squalor syndrome, is a disorder characterized by extreme self-neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal, apathy, compulsive hoarding of garbage, and lack of shame. Sufferers may also display symptoms of catatonia.
__NOTOC__
The condition was first recognized in 1966 and designated Diogenes syndrome by Clark et al. The name derives from Diogenes of Sinope, an ancient Greek philosopher, a Cynic and an ultimate minimalist, who allegedly lived in a large jar in Athens. Not only did he not hoard, but he actually sought human company by venturing daily to the Agora. Therefore, this eponym is considered to be a misnomer.〔(01-28-2006) by (Alicia M. Canto ), in: ("Uso y abuso de Diógenes" )〕 Other possible terms are ''senile breakdown'', ''Plyushkin's Syndrome'' (after a character from Gogol's novel ''Dead Souls''),〔 ''social breakdown'' and ''senile squalor syndrome''. Frontal lobe impairment may play a part in the causation (Orrell et al., 1989).
==History==
The origin of the syndrome is unknown, although the term “Diogenes” was coined by A. N. G. Clarke et al. in the mid‑1970s and has been commonly used since then. Diogenes syndrome was acknowledged more prominently as a media phenomenon in popular media rather than medical literature. The primary description of this syndrome has only been mentioned recently by geriatricians and psychiatrists.〔〔
