His most famous work is «Dead souls" N.In. Gogol wrote for quite some time, and yet features characters such as manilow, Petrushka, a Box and a hoarder, still often veiled in the character of the people around us. The last name is familiar, perhaps even those who haven't had time to read this wonderful novel. In honor of him and there was such a term as "hoarder", denoting a strong passion for hoarding useless and unnecessary things.

Guests can take a short quiz to determine how it may relate to them. So, a hoarder can be identified by the following features:

  1. The man in the cupboard (as an option under the sink or under the table) carefully kept a collection of all sorts of boxes, bags and bottles from-under… anything!
  2. A Special place in the home is a box (suitcase, bags) with things that are gathering dust for over three years and has long been out of fashion.
  3. On the bookshelf (sideboard, cupboard) flaunts a set of different trinkets, figurines and gifts.
  4. On the balcony (in the garage, in the attic) lies an old refrigerator, a broken chair, a broken radio, an old lamp and other "necessary and essential" items.
  5. If you dig under the bed, you can find bundles of old magazines, postcards Brezhnev times and a set of records that do not what to listen to.

Of Course, this test is humorous, but if at least one statement got to the point, there is reason to think. The hoarder in this case either already there or fast approaching.hoarder symptoms

What causes this behavior?

The hoarder often occurs as a response to stress, severe shock, death or the betrayal of loved ones. According to psychologists, it causes a decrease in the activity of areas of the brain responsible for decision-making, and a person develops a fear of poverty. Sometimes it happens that the hoarder inherited. It can also appear as a result of head injuries or surgery on the brain. What distinguishes this syndrome from the usual thrift? What Thrifty people do not keep useless things. And the hoarder is not just kind to junk, but literally prepalatial street trash, folding in the dwelling of the incredible stuff that creates an illusion of protection from the outside world.hoarder treatment

Hoarder: treatment

To combat such behaviour should be gradually, but constantly. Remove all the trash in one approach obviously will not work – better to purposefully allocate half an hour daily and to engage in "raschlenenie". If you encounter difficulty with any thing to try to answer a couple simple questions:

  • How much of this thing do I need?
  • Does this item my life more interesting (happy, comfortable)?
  • How often will I use it?
  • Where will I have it stored?

If the hoarder was discovered someone in your family, remember – is a disease of the lonely people. This means that such a person need to surround with care and attention. The more he will be involved in the lives of relatives and surrounding society, the less will be to manifest the disease.
