Hoarding in Children and Teenagers

Описание: Hoarding in Children and Teenagers

Many of us have seen the television shows depicting homes filled from floor to ceiling with newspapers, garbage, and ‘things’. The images of rotten food, dead vermin, and insect infestations fill many of us with shock, horror, confusion, and sadness. How did this happen? Why won’t the person part with all the ‘stuff’? Typically, we associate hoarding with adults, but did you know that children and teenagers also hoard, and if we do not implement appropriate interventions now, this hoarding behaviour will continue to escalate and continue into adulthood?

Hoarding disorder has only recently been added to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) and is classified under Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders category. Hoarding is defined “as the acquisition of and failure to discard possessions of little use or value” (Frost & Gross, 1993, p.367). Approximately two to six percent of children/teenagers hoard. The typical age of onset of compulsive hoarding begins around the age of 11 to 15 years old, however, children as young as 6 to 7 years old can be hoarders.
