We all love to collect beautiful, fun, interesting and potentially valuable items as well as retain beloved family heirlooms and treasures.
However, at what point does collecting and preserving family memories become a bigger issue.

Most of us either know, have worked with, watched a TV program or sadly have a
Hoarding Disorder.
I have worked with and specialized in working with many a client who has developed this disorder.
It is very difficult, challenging and heart wrenching for all parties concerned, not just the person who has the disorder.
It effects the individual(s) as well as family members.

Hoarding is not limited to the collecting of items
or possessions, it can manifest itself as the
need to save and collect animals.
I would like to share a couple of very informative and interesting articles written by the ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) and AARP regarding Hoarding and OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) with you:
