What happens when someone you love . . .
. . . forgets how to let things go?
They might be diagnosed with “hoarding disorder.”
The American Psychiatric Association’s new 2013 “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5” (or DSM 5 for short)
defines the new diagnosis of “Hoarding Disorder” as
“the persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value.”
The DSM 5 goes on to
state: “These behaviors can often be quite
severe and even threatening.”
Beyond the mental impact of the disorder,
This entertainment center is completely covered in fly excrement
the accumulation of clutter can create a public health issue
And this refrigerator has been completely contaminated by vermin
…by completely filling people’s homes …
The owner of this home kept several birds as pets, and allowed them full run of her home for many years
And creating trip and fall hazards
Water damage created mold damage in this forgotten wine cellar
as well as fire hazards.
The DSM 5 states: “The behavior usually has harmful effects—emotional, physical, social,
financial,
And even legal effects—for the person suffering from the disorder and family members.”
A person receives the diagnosis of “hoarding disorder” when the rooms in the home can no longer be used for
the purpose for which they were intended.
As an example: This kitchen is so cluttered and dirty that it cannot be used to cook or eat.
At PuroClean Emergency Recovery Services, these are some of the
people we help every day
