Wow, thanks for this post, I had never heard of hygiene being an issue unless there was severe depression. I have always been pretty OCD about it, even when depressed, and maybe overly so. In the summer or if I get sweaty, I will shower multiple times in a day, or at least wash with a cloth. I have to shave my legs and underarms every day or it drives me nuts. I think the longest I have gone without showering or bathing is 3 days, and that was in very severe depression where I did not really get out of bed...
