Brief Description
Compulsive hoarding is a pattern of behaviour that is characterized by the excessive or compulsive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard objects that would seemingly qualify as useless or without value. 2-6% of adults fall into this category. This isn’t about any one segment of the population. It could be someone you work with, live next door to, are friends with, or a family member. Compulsive hoarding situations may involve multiple, complex disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Depression and Anxiety Disorders in concert with other contributors to the hoarding behaviours.
