What is hoarding disorder?
The American Psychiatric Association’s new 2013 “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5” (or DSM V for short) defines the new diagnosis of “Hoarding Disorder” as
“the persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value.”
The DSM 5 goes on to state: “These behaviors can often be quite severe and even threatening.”
Beyond the mental impact of the disorder, the accumulation of clutter can create a public health issue.…by completely filling people’s homes … And creating trip and fall hazards, fire hazards, as well as infestation by vermin.
The DSM 5 goes on to state: “The behavior usually has harmful effects—emotional, physical, social, financial, And even legal effects—for the person suffering from the disorder and family members.”
A person receives the diagnosis of “hoarding disorder” when the rooms in the home can no longer be used for the purpose for which they were intended.
