Exactly. It’ll just end up looking like the before photos again. Cleaning the house was nice, but it’s just a bandaid. It does nothing to solve the root of the problem, and it’s definitely not fair for the kids. I’ve lived all my life with depression and it never looked even close to this.
But there are varying forms of depression, surely you know that. Severe depression will absolutely result in severe neglect of one’s self and surroundings.
I guess, you may be right. We can’t know for certain. I’d be curious to know how the person is from a social standpoint. When I did home hospice, I saw homes in worse states than this more often than one would think. It was pretty astounding to me.
A lot of people live in pretty deplorable environments, and I’m not sure how.
