Millions of Americans suffer from hoarding disorders. According to the Washington Post, up to 6% of Americans suffer from this disorder, which is approximately 19 million people. Hoarding involves a compulsion to collect items and to avoid discarding things. Over time, people who hoard may collect massive amounts of items. The clutter can present health and safety issues to the people who hoard the items and the people who clean them up.

What is hoarding?

 

Hoarding is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder that causes people to collect items. People who suffer from this condition also have trouble getting rid of the belongings that they have collected. Over time, people may collect massive amounts of items. Some people who suffer from hoarding disorder may have various items stacked up close to the ceilings with paths between the items for them to move from one room to the next. Many people do not understand the dangers that hoarding can bring. Bacteria can grow in the hoarded materials, and pests and rodents may make homes in the items. Hoarded items may also pose a fire risk if a fire happens to break out.
