Hoarding is a topic that has not been talked about much in the past,
but in recent times has become a commonly discussed topic. |
|
A&E has a ‘Hoarders’ program dedicated to the issue; Oprah has had
segments dedicated to the issue; and mental health professionals are
talking more and more about the problem. |
|
What was once a... family’s dirty little secret has come to light and as
a result, hoarding is now more treatable than ever. |
|
With treatment, individuals who suffer from this problem can fix the
issues that they have been dealing with in the past and also avoid
further problems in the future. |
|
Hoarding can cause more problems than simply aesthetic ones. While
clutter does cause an unsightly mess it can also be the cause for much
more serious problems. Families are torn apart, homes are lost, and
childhoods are ruined because of hoarding. |
|
In serious cases the problem gets so bad that homes are deemed unlivable
by the city and families are forced out. Children in extreme cases have
been taken away from their parents because the home is no longer livable. |
|
This is an issue that is much more serious than most think and needs to
be fixed in the early stages before the problem progresses to the point
where the earlier mentioned problems arise. Those who need help with
hoarding should begin by seeking help from a professional organizer who
deals with the mental/medical causes of hoarding. This is the best place
to start when attempting to cope with the problems that hoarding can cause. |
|
The next step is to get organized and de-clutter. A professional
organizer who specializes in dealing with hoarders would be a great
person to contact in regards to this. The professional organizer will
help you sort through the mess and separate what should be kept from the
items that need to be discarded. The organizer will be a wonderful
resource and can objectively look at the items without emotions coming
into play. The organizer will help sort the items and help prepare for
the next step which is removal of the excess items. |
