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.
