Hoarder House Clean Up Columbus
Saving stuff in moderation is considered normal. However this seemingly healthy impulse can quickly go too far and develop into a clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder. You can’t chalked up compulsive hoarding to an eccentricity or a character flaw. It is much more serious and harder to control than that. Dr. Sanjaya Saxena, MD, director of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Program at the University of California, San Diego. explains “It is, in fact, a neuropsychiatric disorder that will not get better unless the person is treated.”
Compulsive hoarding can lead to tragic consequences. The most famous cases involved the wealthy and reclusive Collyer brothers. In 1947 their bodies were discovered in a New York City home packed with over 100 tons of junk. This past year a Shelton, Washington resident was found smothered by a massive pile of clothes that had toppled onto her. Compulsive hoarders will fill their homes with flammable material and often block hallways and exits in the process, which can make escaping a fire impossible.
Hoarding affects people of all backgrounds and ages in Columbus. Studies show as many as 3 to 6 million Americans may be afflicted at some level. Compulsive hoarding often requires extensive treatment. However many will deny that they have accumulated too much stuff, or that the clutter may cause a problem. Even those who seek treatment can’t always find or afford the currently recommended approach, cognitive-behavioral therapy sometimes paired with medication from a specialist in Columbus.
