What Is Hoarding Disorder?
7. Who’s At Risk
People are usually aged between 11 and 15 years old when symptoms start showing, and older people are also more likely to develop symptoms of the condition. People are also more likely to develop the hoarding disorder if there is a history of the condition in their family.
Some people also simply have a personality that is more likely to make them hoarders. This tends to mean people that have difficulty making decisions. People that have gone through traumatic events in the past such as losing their spouse or losing all their possessions are also more likely to develop hoarding disorder.
