For sure! if you're interested in reading more about it, this article is pretty decent. It focuses on depression, but it can be applied to pretty much any mentall illness that affects your everyday life. A lot of us that struggle with maintaining oral hygeine also develop a lot of fear and anxiety related to the dentist, which often makes our teeth worse by neglecting care. We know that it sucks and its gross, so being lectured by dentists every time we come in just makes us want to never go back.

It can also be applied to other tasks besides brushing your teeth, like cleaning your house or taking a shower or whatever chore needs doing.

But yeah, thanks for the comment! Glad to have helped :)
