Abstract

Diogenes Syndrome in a patient with Schizophrenia though a reality is not reported very often at least so far as the available literature in our country is concerned; the management of such hoarding behaviours is a unique challenging task that requires long-term behavioural modification strategies in place augmented by ADL charting and Occupational Therapy. This case proves to be an interesting example of the same.
