10 Compulsive Hoarding The acquisition of, and failure to discard a large number of possessions that appear to be of useless or of limited value; Living spaces sufficiently cluttered so as to preclude activities for which the spaces were designed; and Significant distress or impairment caused by the hoarding. (Frost & Hartl, 1996) 10
11 Hoarding Disorder Diagnostic criteria for DSM-5 (Obsessive-Compulsive & Related Disorders category): A. Persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions B. Due to strong urges to save items and/or distress associated with discarding C. Accumulation of a large number of possessions that fill up and clutter active living areas so that their intended use is no longer possible D. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment E. The hoarding symptoms are not due to a general medical condition (e.g. brain injury, cerebrovascular disease). 11
