Excessive clutter and hoarding has been in the spotlight in news programs and cable shows. Recent studies estimate that 4-5% of people are hoarders of some kind. Whether garbage, paper, household items, clothing, human waste, animal waste, or a combination of several; hoarding is unhealthy and unsafe. Its consequences include fire, falls, and illness. Some individuals are without heat or water because repairmen cannot get inside to fix the problem.

Many individuals who hoard are ashamed of and embarrassed by their home. This makes it hard to allow anyone to enter–especially family members or friends. And yet, many hoarders know something needs to be done.

What is hoarding?

Hoarding is defined as obtaining and refusing to throw out items that would normally appear to be worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. When these items accumulate, living spaces become significantly cluttered and can no longer be used for the activities associated with that space. For example, bathtubs serve as storage for dishes. Living rooms only have narrow pathways between piles of clutter. Beds are covered with food wrappers, books, and clothes. Refrigerators are completely filled with spoiled food. Animal waste is present under the clutter. Hoarding can also be dangerous if it puts the individual or others at risk from fire, falling, poor sanitation, and other health concerns.

Hoarding is a disorder that can become dangerous to one’s health. Hoarders usually hold on to personal items they no longer because they feel emotional attachment to them or they may think they will need it in the future. This condition is different from collectors, people who accumulate items that hold certain value, hoarders gather random items and get overly attached to valueless items.
