things go?

4. They might be diagnosed with
“hoarding disorder.”

5. The American Psychiatric Association’s new 2013
“Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5”
(or DSM 5 for short)

6. defines the new diagnosis of
“Hoarding Disorder” as

7. “the persistent difficulty discarding or parting
with possessions, regardless of their actual value.”

8. The DSM 5
goes on to
state: “These
behaviors can
often be quite
severe and even
threatening.”

9. Beyond the mental impact of the disorder,
This entertainment center is
completely covered in fly excrement

10. the accumulation of clutter can create a public health issue
And this refrigerator has been
completely contaminated by vermin

11. …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

12. And creating trip and fall hazards
Water damage created mold damage in
this forgotten wine cellar

13. as well as fire hazards.

14. The DSM 5 states: “The behavior usually has
harmful effects—emotional, physical, social,
financial,

15. And even legal effects—for the person suffering
from the disorder and family members.”

16. 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.
