[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can claim that you have no mental health issues, but your environment DOES have an effect on you. Even if you are super laid back, there is an impact. [/quote] Yes, basic cleanliness is a part of mental health. In the same way that refusing to shower or brush your teeth is a sign of mental health issues, so is the refusal to clean your home or a willingness to live in squalor. It's not just that it's an indicator of executive functioning, but also that it demonstrates a certain level of buy in to social structures. No one is saying your house needs to be spotless or that you should clean daily. But a refusal to acknowledge a baseline requirement of cleanliness is an anti-social behavior. It could definitely impact your kids while they are young, as well, since it may inhibit their willingness to have friends over or cause them to feel shame or embarrassment about their home or family.[/quote]
