What is Hoarding Disorder?
Many individuals will state that they have some clutter but not necessarily experiencing hoarding.
While the situation may have started off as clutter, even excessive clutter, when this behaviour and items start to take over a person’s ability to use their home for its intended purpose, this is identified as hoarding.
Hoarding is a psychological health condition that manifests in the compulsive acquisition of possessions. Often the possessions have little value and hoarding them can lead to unsanitary and unsafe living conditions.
For many years Catholic Healthcare has been the trusted specialist in supporting those living with the effects of hoarding and squalor in NSW. Now our award-winning online Buried in Treasures program is open Australia-wide.
