What Is Hoarding Disorder?
10. Treatment
Treatment for hoarding disorder is often very difficult. This is partly because the patient will often not recognize that there is a problem. There is no medication available for the condition, but medication may be prescribed for any other mental health conditions the patient is suffering from.
Treatment for hoarding disorder will typically involve psychotherapy. The therapists will help the patient to recognize that they do have a problem and it needs to be addressed. The patient will also be taught to help manage any distress they might experience over letting go of possessions, and they may be helped with the process of de-cluttering their home.
