Diogenes syndrome or Senile Squalor Syndrome is considered to be a part of a mental health disorder commonly referred to as compulsive hoarding. It is a rare mental condition commonly found in elderly people who are either in a state of neglect or under a state, where they are not able to maintain personal hygiene and cleanliness.
