The biggest controversy in the medical hoarding literature is how to classify the behaviour. From the beginning many suggested that excessive accumulation and difficulty discarding were directly linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Hoarders display symptoms of other diseases linked with “impulse control. From the beginning, many suggested that excessive accumulation and difficulty discarding were directly linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Many studies have since been conducted refuting the link between hoarding behaviour and OCD. One study conducted looked at the relation between core features of hoarding (clutter, difficulty discarding, acquiring) and other mental diseases including OCD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Tolin and Villavicencio 2011). After conducting multiple regression analysis with the data collected from self proclaimed hoarders, non-hoarding OCD patients, and healthy control groups, they found that the presence of OCD symptoms did not predict any of the core features of hoarding behaviour. Predictive capacity for hoarding behaviour was increased, however, when adult ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity were added to the models. This draws attention to a stronger link between hoarding and ADHD than OCD. Another study measured comorbidity with OCD symptoms and found that fewer than 20% of hoarding participants met 60

In patients interviewed, the researchers found that OCD hoarding was due to either: 03 A relief of feelings of incompleteness including emphasis on acquisition and differing reasons for the inability to discard. Researchers still sought the difference between hoarding that results from a difficulty discarding and one that results from OCD. the criteria for OCD. While comorbidity rates were the highest for major depressive disorder (MDD), ADHD was found in 28% of cases, emphasizing again that inattentiveness is more frequently present in hoarding cases than compulsive behaviours. Although the link between hoarding and OCD has been weakened through the above studies, researchers still sought the difference between hoarding that results from a difficulty discarding and one 61
