serene56: During the course of my work in mental health, I've become fascinated by hoarding disorder
So far, I've discovered that it's often associated with people who live with schizophrenia, depression or can be a disorder completely within itself
Does anyone have any information to share with me on this?
My sister is a hoarder. I used to be one but now like to give things away rather than hold onto them. Im not very comfortable with holding onto things or having too much stuff.
Trying to get my sister to get rid of alot of her things as her habits have started to spread to her children.
We did a partial clear out last summer....its a work in progress.
