In Australia there are around 1.2 million people who meet the diagnostic (under the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – DSM-5) for a compulsive hoarding disorder

and counting those undiagnosed the estimate is as high as 6% of the population

Criteria for a diagnosis include

  • Difficulty discarding items regardless of their actual value
  • A perceived need to save the items and associated distress at the idea of discarding them
  • Clutter that prevents the home being used for its intended purpose.

Need Hep?

These hoarding services are suitable for individuals seeking all levels of support:

  • Online forums and support groups
  • Face-to-face support groups and meetings
  • Therapists and psychologists who provide specialised professional help for hoarders
  • Professional Organisers that can coach through a de-clutter.
