I saw the dateline special on hoarding...the one that showed the girls with the really messy houses & cars because they couldn't throw anything away.
The said it was an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so I would think any psychiatrist specializing in OCD would help.

I missed it darn! I know someone that has done that all her life and it's never getting any better. Some people do shop and hoard and even have the animal thing going on. True, it's OCD and it's very difficult to manage.

Sweetie, you need to tell us more.
I work in dog rescue, and have dealt with hundreds of animal hoarders. If that's what you are referring to, email me privately at ndars1@yahoo.com, and I will send you some contact info on people who can help.
