Abstract
Two cases of self-neglect in adult patients with no psychiatric diagnosis are reported. The presentation included domestic squalor and hoarding of rubbish, with the patients living alone and having a history of schizoid and paranoid personality traits. Both refused all recommended help. A move to more protected accommodation was the only practical measure that led to a degree of improvement.
