Understanding hoarding disorder
What are the different types of hoarding disorders?
Hoarding disorders can be categorized into several types, including compulsive hoarding, sentimental hoarding, and information hoarding. Compulsive hoarders struggle to discard items due to emotional attachments, while sentimental hoarders keep items with personal significance. Information hoarders accumulate excessive documents, fearing the loss of valuable knowledge. Treatment varies based on the type and underlying issues.
Hoarding can manifest in various forms and affect people from all walks of life. Here are a few examples of types of categories of hoarding
