Suggest Remedy For Unhygienic Personality

i have a nephew who is 26. There is an odor about him all the time. He rarely washes his clothes or brushes his teeth. I was told by a girl that is a good friend he doesn't brush his teeth and wears dirty clothes until they smell so bad, he just throws them away. What is this? I also know he has trouble making friends.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, either he has some personality disorder or psychosis. better to take him to a psychiatrist for proper mental status evaluation and management. If he has some personality issues, in that case, you need psychologist help or in case of psychosis, he needs antipsychotic. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
