Impact of Hoarding and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptomatology on Quality of Life and Their Interaction With Depression Symptomatology
Hoarding disorder (HD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by difficulty discarding items and accumulation of clutter. Although studies have established the negative impact of HD and compulsive hoarding behavior, fewer have examined the impact on quality of life (QoL) of hoarding behavior independent of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
