Little is said in Brazil, but compulsive hoarding or pathological hoarding is a disorder that leads the person to accumulate objects that often can even come from the garbage. It is a chronic disease, difficult to control and tends to worsen with advancing age.

This habit of compulsive hoarders, until 2013, was considered a symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but from this year on, because it is such a specific disease and that generates so much damage to the individual, it was considered an entity, that is, an isolated disease.

The exact cause that leads a person to make excessive accumulation of objects is not known, however, it is possible that it is related to genetic factors, brain functioning, or stressful life events.

Cups, empty pots, cans, stuffed animals, plastic pots, books, CDs... In an accumulator house you can find everything.

Stacked on top of each other without any apparent logic, the objects that a person accumulates throughout their life makes their home a difficult place to inhabit.

In addition to causing health risks, compulsive hoarding can lead to the deterioration of relationships and work performance and mental health.

 In some cases, the hoarder may even adopt many pets, such as cats or birds, without being able to care for them.

In the most severe cases, they can cover entire rooms, leaving little room to move around the house. Consequently, making environments habitable again can take several days, weeks, or months.
