Hoarding disorder is when an adult has an unmanageable number of items. The items can be of little or no financial value. Hoarding is considered a significant problem if the amount of possessions interfere with daily living, for example making kitchens or bathrooms unusable, and / or are causing significant distress or negatively affecting quality of life for the adult, their family or neighbours. It can be difficult to address because adults who hoard may not see it as a problem or have little awareness of how it is affecting them and other people
