What Is Hoarding Disorder?
Hoarding Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by persistent difficulty in discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value. This behavior leads to the accumulation of items, resulting in clutter that disrupts living spaces and impairs their intended use. Hoarding can cause significant distress and interfere with daily functioning, including personal hygiene, health, and safety. Effective treatment is crucial to help individuals manage hoarding behaviors and improve their living environment.
