At times, you have heard of the cases of garbage houses, which are subject to news, and the municipalities have been interfered with because they are now disturbing their neighbors. These people are so cold to throw their garbage; If you were thinking about how and why a person sits in a house like this, the answer to your questions is a hoarding disorder.
hoarding disorder is the name of the disease that the people who hoard or collect and accumulate, whether or not they need their belongings. I'll use it somewhere later, or if you can't throw away some things with the idea of a memory, don't worry about it immediately, because it's an exaggerated deposition that has reached a pathological level called compulsive hoarding. Without any self-diagnosis, the manual DSM-5 of psychologists and psychiatrists, which were prepared by the American Psychiatric Association and updated as needed, and the diagnostic criteria of their respective mental disorders (the diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders) Let's look at some of the diagnostic criteria for hoarding.
A) constant difficulty in releasing personal belongings, even if they have a useless or limited value, to keep them busy and to leave them due to adversity and/or instability.
B) The symptoms prevent a large number of objects from being collected, resulting in the normal use of areas, such as home, workplace or other personal areas (e.g. office, vehicle, garden) and clogging. If all living spaces have not been completed, it is only possible to clean the objects of these areas as a result of the effort of others. (e.g., family members, authorities)
C) Symptoms result in significant clinical distress or inability to social, professional or other important functionality areas. (such as maintaining a safe environment for the person himself or others).
As we will understand from these substances, a serious psychological disorder, compulsive hoarding is also a serious public health problem, because occupational problems, such as poor physical health conditions, have life problems. According to some research, these people; Higher working disorders have been observed compared to people with substance abuse, anxiety and mood disorders. They make their homes unusable, it's difficult to walk home, to move, even to sleep. Moreover, it is also adversely affected by the physical health of the person because of the fact that they do not accumulate and clean the garbage. When people and neighbors in their circles come to a level of discomfort, they may be subjected to exclusion, causing social isolation. Consequently, hoarding/hoarding affects the physical health of the person and its social life negatively.
The overloads that comprise the resignation and the spool state consist of three ways. them; Although there is not enough space to be needed or even sufficient to put it in, we can sort of purchase, play, and extreme collection of around. The incidence of a hoarding disorder of around 2-6% has not been observed as a difference between men and women, but it has been seen that the ways of accumulating gender are different. This was observed in the form of excessive acquisition of women and the play and/or excessive collection of men.
Although we do not have complete and precise information about the etiology of the hoarding disorder, some findings have been obtained as a result of research. For example, the onset or severity of compulsive hoarding behaviour has been seen to be parallel with traumatic and/or stressful events. In addition, 50% of people with hoarding discomfort have the same discomfort in their relatives. It is thought that this disease depends on both genetics and environmental factors nowadays. In addition, different psychology theories bring different explanations to the disease. According to the psychoanalytical theory of frued, having problems in the period during the development of the individual psychosual age during the period of 2-4 may cause hoarding disorder. The most accepted theory of today is the cognitive behaviorist approach, which focuses on the perceived value of objects, and specifies that the emotional meanings of the objects are caused by a compulsive resignation of the person.
People with hoarding disease often do not bother with this situation and do not apply for self-treatment. Usually one of the family members is taken to take treatment by someone else, such as friends or relatives. The thoughts of having to discard their savings cause problems such as anger, sadness and anxiety in these patients, and 75% of people with this disorder have mood and anxiety disorders. In addition, hair and skin problems can be seen in stackers. Today, this disease is tried to be corrected with medication as well as cognitive behavioral therapy.
