Hoarders are afraid to throw things away. They may save old newspapers, clothing, even old food; some people hoard animals. The problem is also a public safety concern.
Transcript of radio broadcast:
12 March 2007
"The researchers found evidence suggesting that an area of genes on chromosome fourteen was linked with compulsive hoarding. They said the linkage became stronger when two or more family members affected with compulsive hoarding were tested. "

HOARDING
There is a dividing line between those of us who collect a lot of possessions and those that hoard obsessively and find it increasingly difficult to throw anything away. Hoarding is classed as a form of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and it’s attracting renewed interest from psychologists and psychiatrists.
Many hoarders often suffer from it without realising they have a problem. Usually the condition goes unnoticed until the person faces eviction or action by a local health department. But those who are compulsive hoarders can become incapacitated and disabled by their lifestyle they become disorganised lives are isolated and socialising becomes a problem
Dr Raj Persaud visits the home of one hoarder, Sheree and speaks to Satwant Singh, a nurse consultant in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Newham Primary Care Trust who specialises in treating hoarding. Listen here. (Note from COH: It takes about 2 mins. to get to hoarding part of program/hoarding part lasts about 15 minutes)

Listen to Science in the News 2005 broadcast of Voice of America explaining Hoarding, good for new-learners. (COH-recommendation: fast forward to close to 1/2 way through to get to discussion about OCD, Dr. Sanjaya Saxenas' study results of brain activity in hoarders/Dr. Randy Frosts' quotes on hoarding being a public health crisis/Dr. Gary Patroneks' quotes on animal hoarding).
