title: [Self-neglect as a sign of decompensation].
abstract: A lack of hygiene to which the patient appears indifferent, self-neglect can be a sign of the decompensation of a mental pathology. This article presents the case of a patient who, after several months of stabilisation and a return home to a relatively clean environment, reactivates a delusion of persecution.
