To be honest I am incredibly unsure of what evidence of self neglect is. Because I am a nosy parker I read my notes over my doctors shoulder when in an appointment and every single time he writes "no evidence of self neglect". Which quite frankly hasn't always been true, I've talked about not washing my hair for two weeks with him and about living off crackers and cupasoups because i couldn't face cooking. I've had appointments 3 days apart where I've worn the same clothing because I hadn't taken it off or got changed. So as for what self neglect is in terms of depression I think it must be pretty extreme, such as not eating at all and maybe being incontinent.
