  2.       Compulsive hoarding disorder is a type of obsessive compulsive disorder.f
Twenty years ago, compulsive hoarding disorder was a relatively unexplored psychological phenomenon, often treated as an aspect of obsessive compulsive disorder- the compulsion to repeat a certain action over and over. 
  3.       People with compulsive hoarding disorder usually have parents with the same condition. ng
hoarding appears to run in families and may have genetic causes, with family members often having similar issues. In a study of 219 families, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that families with two or more hoarding members showed a linkage between hoarding behaviour and chromosome 14 - one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up human DNA. 
  4.       People who take collecting to extremes eventually cannot live in their homes.t
Humans, however, are the only species that take the strategy to extremes, sometimes filling their homes with so many objects that they eventually become uninhabitable.
  5.       Hoarders show more activity in parts of the brain associated with the emotions.t
People with compulsive hoarding disorder display increased activity in an area of the brain related to decision making when asked to organise objects. This increased activity is due to their greater emotional attachment to possessions
