    Pros And Cons Of Hoarding

    When the average person think of the word hoarding, they think of a house filled with trash, newspapers, and canned foods or of a yard filled with junk and/or animals. What the average person does not automatically think of are corporations stockpiling their cash. Corporate cash hoarding is real and it is a common practice of some of the top corporations in the United States. As the focus shifts to corporate hoarding, the images shift in the mind of the average person as well. Images such as, CEOs stashing cash under their mattresses, offshore bank vaults filled with millions of dollars or a barge carrying gold bars on its way to a foreign country.…

    Hoarding Research Paper

    In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was re-written to classify hoarding as a mental disorder in its own right. While Hoarding is an “apparent” disability, a landlord may still requests a letter from a doctor- although courts have accepted a letter from a tenant’s attorney as sufficient to request an RA (Douglas v. Kriegsfeld Corp, 884 A.2d 1109 (D.C. App. 2005). (Douglas, an important case for recognizing the rights afforded to the disabled as extending to hoarders, is the most relevant case I could find of Hoarding being afforded legal protections, and is cited in a 2011 Rutgers Law Review article discussing the legal framework for RA’s for…

    Compulsive Hoarding On The Homeless

    Compulsive hoarding is the impulse to hold onto unnecessary items due to the idea that they hold some sort of emotional value. It is a severe problem that affects the United States and it can lead people to awful and unfortunate situations such as illness and even homelessness. Studies have shown that one in four people are hoarders with the leading causes being depression or loss of a loved one. It is also apparent that a large amount of the homeless population was evicted from their housing due to it being condemned from hoarding. For instance, my neighbor Sheila was evicted from her house due to her unfortunate hoarding problem and is now what society considers as homeless.…

    Overcoming Compulsive Hoarding

    According to Layton (2013), “…the best way to increase the chances of overcoming a hoarding problem is to catch it in its early stages” (para. 19). It is ideal for a loved one of a hoarder to detect the problem. In worse situations, it may be a landlord finding the problem. There are many ways for hoarders to get help. Therapy is one option. Frost and Steketee (2010), both professors of psychology, did a therapy outcome study for hoarders. After only twelve of their therapy sessions, hoarders significantly improved and by the end of twenty-six treatment sessions, more than two-thirds had responded to treatment and 80 percent described themselves as much or very much improved. This shows that simple therapy can cause a great outcome Hoarding can be described as keeping items that have little to no value and not being able to get rid of them because of an attachment. This can get way out of the hand. Hoarding can get very dangerous. People have become aware of hoarding from TV. It is argued whether hoarding is a mental disorder. People are not hoarders from the day they are born, although, it is proven to have a brain abnormality. Hoarding can ruin someone’s life but overcoming it can also save many lives. Compulsive hoarding not only affects the hoarder’s mental, emotional, and physical health, but also their loved ones’. Hoarding is a devastating disorder but can be overcome.…

    Bulimia Nervosa Argument

    Although bulimia nervosa can be treated in multiple fashions, there is a specific treatment that is proven to be the most effective in not only bulimia nervosa, but also other anxiety related disorders. This effective treatment is an specific form of short term psychotherapy.
