00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, hoarding disorder,
00:13causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
00:16Hoarding happens when someone can't throw things away and collects too much stuff.
00:20This can create unsafe and unhealthy living spaces, and cause stress in relationships.
00:25Hoarding disorder, HD, is a condition where hoarding gets worse over time.
00:29It mostly affects adults but can start in teens.
00:32It's recognized as a mental health disorder and often occurs alongside other conditions.
00:36Treating it requires self-motivation and help from a doctor,
00:39with supportive but non-judgmental family involvement.
00:421. Causes of hoarding disorder, people hoard for various reasons,
00:46like thinking items will be useful someday or having emotional attachments.
00:50Those living alone, in disorganized environments,
00:52or with difficult childhoods may be more vulnerable.
00:55HD is also linked to other mental health issues like anxiety,
00:58ADHD, and OCD, and can involve difficulties with decision-making and organizing.
01:032. Who's at risk, HD affects 2-6% of people, impacting men and women equally.
01:09Age is a factor, with older adults being more likely to develop HD.
01:13Adolescents can also show symptoms, though usually milder.
01:163. Symptoms of hoarding, symptoms include, inability to discard items
01:20because they feel that will be needed someday or as a reminder of someone or life event.
01:24Excessive clutter in living spaces.
01:27Difficulty finding important items.
01:29Feeling distressed but helpless about the clutter.
01:31Avoiding home repairs due to clutter.
01:33And conflict with loved ones over the mess.
01:354. Treating hoarding disorder, treatment focuses on the person, not just the clutter.
01:40A doctor can diagnose HD through interviews and evaluating living spaces.
01:44They may also identify any other mental health conditions.
01:47Treatment include, cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT.
01:51CBT, both individual and group, is effective for HD.
01:55It helps understand why someone hoards and aims to change those behaviors.
01:59It often includes strategies for decluttering and preventing new clutter.
02:02Peer-led groups.
02:03Peer support groups provide a less intimidating way to manage HD,
02:06offering weekly check-ins and support.
02:09Medications.
02:10While no specific medication for HD exists, some drugs may help with symptoms,
02:14especially those used for related conditions like ADHD.
02:175. Supporting someone with HD.
02:20Support involves encouraging professional help and discussing how treatment can improve
02:23their life without criticizing.
02:25Avoid cleaning up for them, as this doesn't solve the underlying issue.
02:29With professional help, a person can overcome hoarding behaviors and improve their living space.
