The Journey Begins
This blog will chronicle the creation of hoardhouse.com a website that will look at “Obsessive Compulsive Hoarding. ”
According to Karron Maidment, a scholar associated with The Obsessive Compulsion Foundation, ” Hoarding is defined as the acquisition of, and inability to discard worthless items even though they appear (to others) to have no value. Hoarding behaviors can occur in a variety of psychiatric disorders and in the normal population, but are most commonly found in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).”
Current media coverage of this issue tends to focus on the fantastic messes that come with this affliction. We would like to delve deeper and create a website that will examine the broader societal implications of this disorder and tell personal stories of hoarders, their families and people who work with them.

Great idea and much needed. When you get going, I would like to provide a link to your site from our web site, http://www.hoarders.org. I, too, try not to sensationalize this problem. I prefer linking to sites that are educational and informative. The o.c.d.hoarding problem remains so hidden sometimes even from the family that when it comes to light it can be quite shocking. There are so many really nice intelligent people with this affliction. It needs attention and more research. Whatever you can do will help. Thanks for your effort.
