“…The CIR has been proven to discriminate between mid-life individuals with and without compulsive hoarding (Grisham et al, 2010;Gordon et al, 2013;Drury et al, 2014). CIR scores for mid-life individuals with compulsive hoarding or HD range from 3.64 (SD: 1.55; Tolin et al, 2010) to 4.5 (SD: 1.5; Frost et al, 2011).…”

Background-The Clutter Image Rating (CIR) was created to meet a gap in the research on compulsive hoarding: how to ascertain clutter level in an individual's home without a home visit, as not all clinicians have the ability to conduct a home visit. The CIR has proven itself to be both reliable and valid for use in adults with compulsive hoarding symptoms. However, there is currently a dearth of information on performance of the CIR in older adults diagnosed with hoarding disorder (HD). Because older adults have increased medical issues, including fall risks, evaluating the level of clutter in the house is especially critical in geriatric populations.

“…A recent review of cognitive performance in HD found evidence for impairment in multiple cognitive domains [12] , particularly executive functioning. Individuals with HD demonstrate impaired decision making, compared to nonhoarding individuals, on unstructured sorting tasks but not on standardized neuropsychological assessments [13] . Deficits in decision making may increase the distress felt by hoarding patients when forced to choose whether to keep or discard an object.…”

“…Thus, individuals with HD may have more difficulty inhibiting an initial urge to acquire an additional object. Hoarding may be linked to difficulty with categorization and organization, but the research is mixed [13,15] likely due to differences in samples or neurocognitive tests. When compared with age-and education-matched controls, individuals with HD have an increased incidence of impairment in visual memory, visual detection, and visual categorization [16] .…”

“…However, HD patients and selfidentified collectors are also likely to cite potential usefulness as a primary reason for saving an object [29] . Patients with HD are also more likely to endorse all potential reasons for saving an object more highly [27,28] , which may partially explain why HD patients have more difficulty making decisions about their own objects [13] . A recent study of adults with HD looking at specific reasons or beliefs for saving (losing important information, sentimentality or emotional significance, wasting a potentially useful object, and beauty or aesthetic appeal) found that participants tended to endorse all reasons for saving in the moderate to severe range [30] .…”

This article will review the evidence of various proposed factors that contribute to the onset and maintenance of hoarding disorder (HD). Data suggests that hoarding is a chronic condition that starts early in life and does not remit if left untreated. There is emerging evidence that a number of factors contribute to the expression of HD symptoms, including genetics, neurocognitive functioning, attachments to possessions, beliefs, avoidance, personality factors, and life events. The extent to which each etiological factor uniquely contributes to hoarding is still unknown. Other demographic factors, such as socioeconomic status, age, and gender, may impact hoarding severity. Research on the causes and characteristics of hoarding has recently started making progress into understanding this newly recognized disorder, yet we still have a ways to go in understanding the biological and environmental causes. This paper will synthesize available literature on the etiology of HD.

“…For instance, in the London field trial, more than half of individuals with selfidentified hoarding disorder were described as having good insight. 52 Inattention and other information-processing deficits A number of recent studies suggest that hoarding disorder patients exhibit a range of cognitive deficits, including inattention, [72][73][74][75] executive dysfunction, 76,77 and memory problems. 73,78,79 Some models have posited that information-processing deficits play a significant role in the development of hoarding behaviors.…”

Hoarding disorder: a new diagnostic category in ICD-11?

Despite the long-held view that hoarding is a symptom of both obsessive-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, increased evidence has emerged during the last 20 years suggesting that hoarding represents a distinct form of psychopathology. This study reflects the discussions on the nosological status of hoarding carried out by the WHO ICD-11 Working Group on the Classification of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. The distinctiveness of hoarding is based on its having core symptoms that differ from those of other disorders, as well as distinctive neurobiological correlates and treatment responses. Furthermore, data showing the clinical utility, global applicability, and appropriateness of the concept of hoarding disorder outside specialty mental health settings suggest that this condition should be included in ICD-11. Finally, given the focus of ICD-11 on primary care and public health, the Working Group suggests that poor insight and severe domestic squalor may be considered as specifiers for hoarding disorder in ICD-11.
