Hoarding Disorder

Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition characterised by the excessive accumulation of items, often things that others may view as worthless or of limited value, combined with a strong difficulty in discarding or parting with those items. This behavior can lead to severe clutter that disrupts the person’s living space and daily functioning. The hoarding often causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of life.
