Can A Messy House Cause Anxiety?

Have you ever felt your mood change at the sight of a full kitchen sink? Or felt a little less positive about your home in general after letting life take its toll for a few days longer than normal? Well you’re not alone because research shows that up to 90% of us feel negatively affected by mess or clutter around our homes. Not only that but more than half (54%) of people said they’ve cancelled social plans in their home because it wasn’t clean or tidy enough. (Anyone with children will know that feeling!) Research has also shown that living in a messy space has a strong correlation to feeling depressed and anxious as well.
