I'd never really heard the term NEET before and had to do some research. I get what is, but not really why it is.

Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?

NEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn't consider the reasons or health of the person.

The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.
