Overview
editCase Study John, is a 30 yr old office worker who works from home. Initially John kept a regular hygiene routine such as daily showers, brushing his teeth twice a day and keeping a clean apartment, but due to increased stresses in his life his hygiene standards started to drop as he spent his energy dealing with immediate problems and letting his personal hygiene standards start to slip, slowly with brushing his teeth every second day and showering every third. As new stressors came and old stresses lingered his standards grew worse. |
