Hoarding

In Sarasota, Call On The Accutech Professionals To Restore Your Loved One's Clean Living Conditions

Recently, our awareness of “hoarding” has come to our cultural attention.  The tragedy of hoarding affects not only the individual stricken with the illness but also his or her family.  The obsession takes on many detrimental meanings, but one significant effect to consider is the unsanitary environment it creates.  It also makes for hazardous living conditions.  The more we are exposed to the disorder of hoarding, the more we can see and understand that the individuals who suffer this condition need help and consultation.  Make the cleaning and restoration specialists at Accutech your source for restoring your loved one’s environment to a healthy, organized dwelling.

What is Hoarding and How Do I Recognize It?

Though hoarding is not yet a listed psychological disorder, the more we see and understand the distinguishing traits, the more insight we have to designate it as a mental illness eventually.  If you know someone you love who may be experiencing the debilitating symptoms of hoarding, be sure you contact a medical authority.  A hoarder has severely degraded living conditions.  It becomes difficult for the person to get around, to cook, to clean, to conduct proper hygiene, and even interferes with sleeping.  These dangerous living conditions can lead to a myriad of health problems, physical injury, and even fire.

Hoarding, or disposophobia (the fear of discarding), can be identified by the following:

• Excessive accumulation and acquisition of objects
• Failure to discard trash and objects

In 1996, Doctors Frost and Hartl further identified symptoms of hoarding:

• Acquisition of and a failure to discard a large number of possessions that appear to be useless or of limited value
• Living spaces sufficiently cluttered so as to preclude activities for which those spaces were designed
• Significant distress or impairment in functioning caused by the hoarding
• Reluctance or inability to return borrowed items
• Impulsive acquisitiveness sometimes leads to stealing or kleptomania as boundaries blur.
