People with schizophrenia often have trouble with personal hygiene in addition to many other daily life functions, due to the negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Negative symptoms can cause a great amount of difficulty for people living with schizophrenia. Examples of negative symptoms of schizophrenia include:
• Speaking in a flat, dull tone
• Social withdrawal and isolation
• A lack of interest in daily life or hobbies
• An inability to complete daily tasks
Because many people with schizophrenia are unable to maintain a daily routine and have trouble completing basic functions, they may not bathe or shower on a regular basis, nor do laundry, and they might wear the same clothes day after day.
