[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745329, member: 1550"] Well, I am just parrotting what the hoarding specialists have said and it isnt treated like an addiction. It is more a seperate problem where you cant ever get rid of anything, sometimes people have old newspapers that are 20 years old. Gross! Also there are animals, their business and bugs. The problem is nothing can be given up due to attachment. Its not primarily about just buying....it is about inability to give anything up. So you build a tradh pit and live in it. Most hoarders seem older. Treatment is not rehab for hoarding. It is not seen as an addiction. Once it was considered a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but I think I heard a few specialists say it is not anymore....that it is now seen as a disorder of its own. Welcome to psychiatric chaos in diagnoses. Of course you know I think psychiatry is an inexact science, if a science at all. So......whatevah!! It will be called something else next year :) [/QUOTE]
