UNDERSTANDING HOARDING
According to the American Psychiatric Association, Hoarding Disorder is a case in which somebody impulsively keeps items. They have great difficulty getting rid of anything because of the perceived need to save everything.
If you know somebody who is hoarding, you are not alone. The APA estimates that the prevalence of hoarding is 2.6%, with people over 60 being more susceptible to the condition.
It’s important to note that there’s a difference between compulsive hoarding and a large amount of clutter. Not every “hoarder house” involves a mental health aspect. In either case, Speed Clean has experience approaching this situation.
While it may involve great stress, addressing hoarding is absolutely necessary because of the health and safety implications involved.
