Compulsive Hoarding
Persistent difficulty discarding possessions, even items with little practical value, until clutter disrupts everyday life.
Hoarding goes beyond collecting or ordinary untidiness. Letting go of an item can provoke intense distress or a fear that it may be needed later. As possessions accumulate, rooms may become difficult to use for sleeping, cooking, or moving around safely.
💡 Real-Life Example
Someone keeps years of old newspapers in case they might read them, leaving no space to sit on the living room sofa.
