Firstly, blanche monnier became anorexic. By the time she was rescued by the police after receiving an
anonymous tip from an unknown person, she barely weighed 25kg.
Secondly, she wasn’t in the best sanitary or hygiene state. A foul smell permeated the entire attic where she was locked up, resulting from the rotten food and human excrements all around her. The room was so smelly and pungent that the investigators couldn’t spend more time to conduct the needed investigations.
Thirdly, her mental and social state were greatly deteriorated. Being trapped in darkness can cause many effects on one’s mental being and in the end, she was diagnosed with
schizophrenia. Having been surrounded by her own excrement, she also developed coprophilia; sexual arousal and pleasure from faeces (yuck!)
Lastly, she was also diagnosed with
exhibitionism, resulting from all those years when she was only stark naked on her rudimentary straw bed.
