Hoarding Disorder

Understanding hoarding disorder

Hoarding disorder involves persistent difficulty parting with possessions, leading to clutter that overwhelms living spaces and daily life. It is tied to anxiety, grief, and meaning, and change happens gently, never by force.

Signs to look for

  • Extreme distress at discarding items
  • Living spaces too cluttered to use
  • Strong emotional attachment to possessions
  • Shame, isolation, and avoidance of visitors
  • Family conflict over clutter

How we help

  • Patient, non-judgemental support
  • Understanding the meaning behind objects
  • Gradual, values-based decluttering
  • Addressing underlying anxiety and grief
  • Involving family with compassion
