Thank you to all who participated in this successful event! Compulsive hoarding and cluttering refers to the acquisition of and failure to discard a large number of possessions, which appear to be useless or of limited value, in an attempt to decrease stress and anxiety. This serious and prevalent problem can lead to eviction and homelessness. It is often a feature of several psychiatric disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder and major depression, and can be caused or aggravated by problems associated with increasing age or physical disabilities. More than 300 social service providers, medical professionals, landlords and property managers, researchers, family and friends, and people who hoard and clutter met on October 29th at the Westin San Francisco Market Street for MHA-SF's 11th Annual Conference on Hoarding and Cluttering. Click here for information about the conference. The next conference will be held in October 2009.
