A member asked:
What type of treatment is done for a hoarder to make him more normal and get rid of all his excess stuff?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's a hard one: Well, hoarding appears some sort of obsession, so treatment usually prescribed for obsessive compulsive disorder might turn out helpful. Behavioral/cognitive therapy and anti-depressants used for obsessive compulsive disorder might be of help.

Hoarding: Treating underlying obsessive compulsive disorder, both with psychotherapy & with medications, does help. Also psychological testing is sometimes needed to check for IQ & personality profile.
