| Summary: | Compulsive hoarding is a problem characterized with excessive collection and accumulation, failure to discard the
excess amount of collected items. Although it is considered to be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder in DSMIV-
TR (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders fourth edition text revision), it is thought that compulsive
hoarding and OCD may have different biological, cognitive and behavioral mechanisms and compulsive hoarding may
be associated with many other psychological illnesses. For these reasons, in DSM-5 (Diagnostic and statistical manual
of mental disorders fifth edition) hoarding disorder diagnosis is located under the classification of obsessive-compulsive
and related disorders.
In this case report, three cases classified in different diagnostic categories according to DSM-IV-TR will be mentioned and hoarding disorder will be discussed. |
