title: Diogenes' syndrome in patients with intellectual disability: 'a rose by any other name'?
abstract: Diogenes' syndrome is characterized by marked self-neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal and hoarding of rubbish (syllogomania). The syndrome has been reported to occur in association with a wide variety of conditions, but the present authors were unable to find any previous reports of Diogenes' syndrome in patients with intellectual disability.
