Abstract: The purpose of this Hoarding algorithm is to provide a
framework for understanding hoarding in a homeopathic way. By looking beyond
just the symptomatic presentation of hoarding, the homeopathic practitioner can
begin to appreciate the context and root cause of this disorder. Furthermore,
material medica is explored in
a way that opens to future possibilities.
Definition:
“Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with
possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding
disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items.
Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.” 3.
Etiology:
Genetics brain functioning stressful life events death of a loved one divorce loss of
possessions in a fire or other natural catastrophe
Onset:
“Often surfaces during the teenage to early adult years.” “Initial start of hoarding symptoms is
thought to happen in childhood or adolescence (typical onset around
age 13) and it is chronic and progressive. Hoarding is more common in
older than younger age groups.”
Incidence: “occurs in an estimated 2 to 6% of the population of the USA.
Some research show hoarding disorder is more common in males than females.
It is also more common among older adults–three times as many adults 55 to 94
years are affected by hoarding disorder compared to adults 34 to 44 years old.”
“hoarding disorder is more common among people who have a family member who has
hoarding disorder.”
[Martin Straube]
