OCD Chart

Hoarding is often linked to OCD, characterized by persistent difficulty discarding possessions, regardless of their actual value. It is also considered a feature of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). It can develop alongside other mental conditions, like dementia and schizophrenia.

OCD often co-occurs with other mental health conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and hoarding disorder, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the widely used treatments for OCD. It helps individuals identify and challenge the irrational thoughts and behaviors contributing to their compulsions.
