Are you or someone you know possibly suffering from hoarding disorder? Here’s where you go to get help and how MI-BOX mobile storage rentals can help without having to get rid of everything at once. 

Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition that results in an overwhelming accumulation of items and clutter. As this condition becomes increasingly more prevalent, it’s important to understand how to identify a potential issue and where to seek help. 

What Causes Hoarding Disorder?

It is believed that hoarding behaviour can be the result of anxiety, depression, or trauma. In some cases, there may even be an underlying medical condition causing the hoarding behaviour. As a result, people who suffer from hoarding disorder feel overwhelmed by their belongings and find it difficult to part with them. 

They may begin creating piles that take over their living spaces, making it difficult for them to move around easily. Over time, these piles can grow so large that they create a dangerous living environment. 

Regardless of the cause, it is important for those suffering from hoarding disorder to seek help before the problem becomes overwhelming and unmanageable. 

Getting Help for Hoarding Disorder 

If you or someone you know is struggling with hoarding disorder, it is important to seek out professional help as soon as possible. There are many professionals and support groups available in Calgary that offer assessments, counselling, and many other services. Additionally, there are helpful resources that can assist individuals on their organizational journey.
