Hoarding

Having trouble throwing things away? We all have some items we keep, even if these items serve no useful purpose. People who hoard do this to the extreme - they don’t throw anything away, and this can impair their finances, health, or relationships. Drs. Jerry Bockoven and Todd Fleischer, the KitchenShrinks, discuss this fascinating behavioral health problem, it’s possible causes, and why it is so hard to treat


This was a great presentation. I do have a question. I tend to have a bit of that Depression-era attitude about items that I may need "someday", or that may be re-purposed in some way. This, along with a few too many unfortunate choices that I guess I hope to someday justify, makes for a lot of stuff in my house that I have a hard time getting rid of. Any suggestions for people like me?
