“…In a study with hoarding disorder patients [47], half of them related the onset of symptoms to stressful situations. Despite the crosssectional design of this study, it is plausible to assume that the big change that occurs in the lives of these young adults, involving going to college in another city, can be very stressful due to increased responsibility and lack of emotional support, which could generate or aggravate hoarding and depressive symptoms.…”

Probable OCD is more frequent in medical students than in the general population and is associated with depressive symptoms. Efforts are required to identify OCS in this population, particularly among first-year students and to provide treatment, when necessary. Institutional programs that properly receive freshmen, enhancing their integration with other colleagues and their adaptation to the city, may decrease the level of stress and, consequently, OCS severity.

“…Otra limitación es el uso de una medida no validada para evaluar el SVE y sus características. Otros estudios han empleado la Life Events Checklist (Gothelf et al, 2004), Trauma History Questionnaire (Landau et al, 2011), o el Traumatic Events List del módulo del trastorno de estrés postraumático de la SCID (Cromer et al, 2007). En nuestra opinión, el empleo de una lista de eventos puede hacer que el paciente identifique un SVE que podría no haber informado si no se le hubiera recordado ningún suceso.…”

IntroducciónLas conceptualizaciones modernas sobre la gé-nesis de los trastornos mentales consideran los sucesos vitales estresantes (SVE) como un factor fundamental en el origen de los mismos (Koenders, Giltay, Spijker, Hoencamp, Spinhoven y Elzinga, 2014;Oliva, Jiménez, Parra, y Sánchez-Queija, 2008;Sandín, Rodero, Santed y García-Campayo, 2006). En relación al trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC), Horowitz (1975) señaló que el estrés exacerbaba las intrusiones mentales, y Mineka (1985) indicó que ciertas conductas estereotipadas podrían ser una respuesta innata al estrés en animales. Recientemente, algunos autores han remarcado la importancia del estrés, incluyendo los SVE y los acontecimientos traumáticos en el desarrollo de la enfermedad (Fairbrother y Abramowitz, 2007; Gothelf, Aharonovsky, Horesh, Carty, y Apter, 2004;Real, et al., 2011;Rosso, Albert, Asinari, Bogetto y Maina, 2012; Vidal-Ribas, Stringaris, Rück, Serlachius, Lichtenstein y Mataix-Cols, 2015). Además, algunos estudios indican que se da un número significativo de SVE en el año anterior al inicio del trastorno, en comparación con el grupo control (McKeon, Roa, y Mann, 1984; Khanna, Rajendra y Channabasavanna, 1988). En niños con TOC también se observa un mayor nú-mero de SVE a lo largo de la vida y en el año previo al inicio de la enfermedad (Gothelf, et al., 2004). Sin embargo, otros estudios no han logrado encontrar dicha asociación (Maina, Albert, Bogetto, Vaschetto y Ravizza, 1999).Otras investigaciones han examinado la relación entre los SVE y las características socio-demográficas y clínicas de los pacientes con TOC en los que el inicio del trastorno ha sido desencadenado por un suceso, en comparación con aquellos que no presentan ningún SVE al comienzo del trastorno.

a resuMo O transtorno de acumulação (TA) pode ser definido como uma dificuldade persistente de desfazer-se de itens devido ao sofrimento associado com o descarte ou uma necessidade percebida de guardar posses a despeito de seu valor real. Tal comportamento pode resultar no acúmulo de objetos, o que compromete significativamente o uso da moradia, causando sofrimento e/ou prejuízo funcional. Os itens acumulados mais frequentemente são objetos e animais. A prevalência do transtorno é de 1,5 a 2,1% na população em geral, podendo ser maior que 6% em idosos. O TA causa riscos à saúde e à segurança dos indivíduos, especialmente dos idosos, gerando um custo relevante para a sociedade. O diagnóstico de TA é clínico e só deve ser feito após a exclusão de condições médicas gerais e outros transtornos mentais que podem levar ao acúmulo de objetos. O TA parece ser um transtorno de curso crônico e progressivo, comumente associado a comorbidades psiquiátricas. Estudos indicam a participação de fatores genéticos, familiares, cognitivos e de experiências traumáticas na etiologia do TA. A abordagem terapêutica mais estudada até o momento foram as psicoterapias, mas os resultados mostram efeito pequeno. Os estudos farmacológicos existentes são muito incipientes, não permitindo conclusões de eficácia. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: transtorno de acumulação; colecionismo; psicopatologia. aBstractHoarding disorder can be defined as a persistent difficulty in discarding items, due to distress associated with such disposal or a perceived need to save items regardless of their actual value. Such behavior must result in the accumulation of clutter, which significantly compromises living conditions, causing distress and/or functional impairment. The most frequently hoarded items are objects and animals. The point prevalence of clinically significant hoarding was estimated to be 1.5 to 2.1% in the general population, and may exceed 6% in the elderly. HD poses a range of health and safety hazards to individuals, especially older adults, generating significant costs to society. The diagnosis of HD is clinical, and should only be established after general medical conditions and other mental disorders that can lead to accumulating behavior have been ruled out. HD appears to follow a chronic, progressive course, and is commonly associated with psychiatric comorbidities. Studies indicate that genetic, familial, cognitive, and traumatic factors are implicated in the etiology of HD. To date, psychotherapies have been the most widely studied therapeutic approaches, but the results of these studies show small effects. Research into pharmacological approaches to HD is still incipient, precluding any conclusions of efficacy.
