A member asked:
What causes poor hygiene? is it depression or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor hygiene: People who are depressed may stop caring about themselves and motivation levels may drop so low that they stop taking care of basics like hygiene. When this occurs, it is usually a red flag that medical intervention really is needed.
