Woopets info: what is Diogenes syndrome?
The syndrome of Diogenes is a behavioral disorder manifested by an excessive accumulation of objects, marked social isolation and significant neglect of hygiene and living environment.
In some cases, it is accompanied by an accumulation of animals, called “syndrome of Noah “. The people concerned then take in large numbers of animals, often with good intentions, but without being able to offer them the necessary care, space or attention. This situation can have serious consequences on the well-being of animals, which live in unsanitary conditions.
Supporting a person with syndrome Diogenes requires patience and empathy. A brutal intervention or forced clearance risks worsening their isolation and discomfort. It is preferable to establish a dialogue of trust, to move forward in stages and to encourage the acceptance of appropriate help (professionals, etc.). The objective is to gradually improve the person's living conditions. When animals are concerned, animal protection associations can intervene to offer them a better living environment.
