Hoarding
Hoarding is a psychological condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of items, often to the point where living spaces become cluttered and unusable. Individuals with hoarding tendencies may struggle to discard possessions, regardless of their actual value, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.
This behavior can be linked to various factors, including anxiety, depression, and past trauma. Treatment options often involve therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps individuals understand their attachment to items and develop healthier habits for managing possessions.
