Hoarding Is a Disorder That Can Affect Anyone
Most people may experience hoarding in some way or the other – mildly or more prominently. Hoarding pertains to the behaviour of not parting with possessions. Persons suffering from hoarding disorders find it difficult to throw away things, regardless of their actual value. Hoarding also relates to the persistent accumulating of excess purchases or unique items over long periods of time, even if there is no actual need or use for the items.
A disorder like hoarding may present itself on its own or as a symptom of another disorder. Though some people initially collect things as a hobby, or even hold on to items for sentimental reasons, in the long run this compulsion can have a negative impact on their everyday life.
The first signs and symptoms of hoarding disorder can be identified as gradual build-up of clutter in and around the living spaces, compulsive buying of an excessive items, and difficulty in discarding things. These symptoms often surface during the teenage to early adult years. However, as the person grows older, they tend to acquire unnecessary things even when there is no space. By middle age and in later years these symptoms become quite severe and are harder to treat.
Hoarding problems tend to be a private behaviour developing gradually over time and only reaching the attention of others when a significant clutter has developed.
Hoarding Leads to a Diminished Quality of Life
Studies show that there may be several causes to hoarding disorders including genetics, brain functioning or stressful life events. This severe clutter however threatens the health and safety of those living in the same home or around the affected area. Hoarding can cause serious health problems to humans and animals and even death in some cases. It can give rise to dangerous conditions of structural damage and fire incidents.
Due to the excessive hoarding of items, hoarders commonly end up with a lack of functional living space. Hoarders can cope with malfunctioning or broken appliances and get by without heat or other necessary living comforts. This leads to an extremely unhealthy living environment.
Hoarding may lead to serious financial problems and hoarders living in leased premises risk eviction. Hoarders often experience anger and depression. They may also face resentment among family members. Hoarding in a family situation can affect the social development of children or even lead to loss of child custody. In couples, the unliveable conditions may lead to separation or divorce.
The Hoarding Cleanup Process
There is no known way to completely prevent hoarding as little is understood about what exactly causes hoarding disorder. However, at the first signs of the problem, getting treatment may help prevent hoarding from getting worse. Discuss the situation with your personal doctor or any trusted health professional if this is happening to you or a loved one.
In most cases, hoarders are in denial of their situation and any attempts by friends and family to help with de-cluttering may not be received well. The affected person may often experience extreme distress if their homes are cleared without their consent.
