Summary
In this chapter we discuss that, as well as being the main feature necessary for the diagnosis of Hoarding Disorder, hoarding can also occur as a symptom in many other physical and mental conditions. We will discuss clinical stories of people who have had difficulties with hoarding but will demonstrate how a different type of approach is needed to help them overcome their problems from that described from pure Hoarding disorder. There will then be a brief examination of the overlap between trauma and neurodiversity and hoarding as well as a brief description and discussion of the validity of the concept of Diogenes Syndrome in the elderly.
