Hoarding is part of the OCD - obsessive compulsive disorder - spectrum. However, it does not respond to standard OCD treatment.

OCD if it mild enough you can work through it. I have a terrible time with it. I just have to keep reminding my self that my house will look like my Granny's if I dont purge the junk once a year or so.
