There are many cases about hoarding seem to be everywhere these days, these cases are also shown on television for different kind of hoardings. People who hoard, represents greater risk to the health and safety of other family members and if there are tenants then it presents greater risks to other tenants as well.

Hoarding is one such behavior which characterized by the extreme acquisition of and incapability or refusal to discard large quantities of objects that cover significant area of house and cause significant distress or harm. Hoarding is associated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (ODC), however OCD patients are often aware of their conditions where hoarders are not really aware about their problems and thus it becomes really difficult to cure them. Some of the common habits of hoarders include compulsive & excessive collecting and silly decision making about useless items, leading them to store all garbage. Hoarding is very much common in people with psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Other types of hoarding include animal hoarding, book or magazine hoarding & information or data hoarding.
Clutterers are slightly different from Hoarders in psychology, they have an emotional attachment to their piled up items, they fear for their loss. This is seen in people having low self esteem, depression & anxiety.
