Hoarding disorder affects a growing number of people in the United States. It is found to be a distinct genetic subtype of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that is characterized by personality traits such as avoidance, anxiety, indecisiveness, procrastination, perfectionism and poor socialization skills. Hoarders have difficulty maintaining focus, making decisions, processing information, and defining values. They feel the urge to acquire enormous amounts of useless items and get emotionally attached to them but lack the ability to organize them and classify them according to their value. So, hoarders don\u2019t discard any of their worthless possessions and the accumulated items gradually block off larger and larger parts of their homes, making the living space unusable. Fire hazards<\/a> increase and sanitary problems often occur because of the accumulated dirt and dust, possible mold or bacteria growth, pest infestation, etc. Worst of all, hoarders do not easily admit their problems, refuse treatment, and inevitably become isolated and socially withdrawn. The situation is very dangerous and sensitive, so hoarding cleanup must be performed in a delicate and patient way.<\/p>\n Effective hoarding and estate cleaning requires a considerate and realistic approach.
