A hoarding disorder occurs when people save almost everything that another person would think of as worthless. Their difficulty in getting rid of things is exacerbated by the distress they feel when thinking about losing the item. This results in an overwhelming accumulation of things that often have no real value. In the minds of some hoarders, the item may be of some value or use in the future, although this is rarely true.

 

Psychologists have found that hoarding of often found in people who are diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While treatment is available and can be successful, the process of getting rid of years of accumulated items can be daunting.
