They don’t want to be “wasteful” even if the item has no history or sentimental value to it. They feel that an item with be useful in the future. Hoarding usually hoard because of depression, anxiety, or just the lack of organizing and arranging items. Hoarding usually starts in basements, attics, or storage rooms. Hoarders have really low high jean. Their houses usually have piles of unnecessary items such as newspapers, magazines, empty bottles, etc. Hoarding usually leads to a person’s house being nearly impossible to live in. They can’t do simple daily routines like walk around their house, sleep on their bed, or cook properly.
