Overcoming Compulsive Hoarding #519

Posting Date: 11/13/2004

A lot of people struggle with clutter, but some people are overpowered

by it. You may not know someone with more than twenty years' worth of

old newspapers stacked up in the living room but you may know someone

whose garage is so full of junk there is no room for a car. The

accumulated clutter can create a lot of friction in relationships and

make people miserable. What drives compulsive hoarders, and how can

they be helped?
