Accumulating too many items creates bottled-up emotions. Hoarding is caused by depression, not letting go of the past, holding onto the sentimental value, and a combination of other mental health disorders. There are numerous occasions for a person to begin hoarding because of fear of losing their memories from the past. Also, purchasing duplicate necessities thinking you might need them for later. Hoarding is a disorder due to indecisions and procrastinating about keeping items for several reasons.
This disorder is a serious matter for you and for your family who is going through a hoarding phase. It is a stressful situation that makes your family members have more anxiety. The risk of injuries is greater because of the cluttered room or rooms. A person who does hoarding might have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, or another disorder that needs to be taken care of to treat the hoarding disorder. But if it is not treated, the hoarding will get worse and more difficult to treat.
To end hoarding, a person needs to go to counseling sessions in addition to cleaning up the room or cluttered rooms. The cleaning must be done slowly with careful consideration of the person's feelings. Furthermore learning to let go of the past and controlling emotions is necessary to begin the cleaning process. Giving away items to charity and throwing away broken items will also help with the healing process. Keep in mind that the cleaning process takes several days as the room gets uncluttered.
When helping someone to stop hoarding, you will need plenty of patience, time, and listening. Storing items in an organized manner takes more time for a hoarder. Therefore, the main aspect to treat is the emotions and behavior to end the hoarding. The less clutter in a home, the better your health will be mentally and physically.
