Recovering from life as a hoarder

Available for over a year

Hoarding Disorder is often referred to as the hidden illness. Behind closed doors sufferers live in a world that many of us would see as clutter and chaos that not only affects the way they live their lives but also the people who live with them, family and friends. We've all seen those programmes on TV with rooms full to the ceiling with items that many of us would see only fit for the skip. We've watched as sufferers lives are turned upside down by people wanting to help and the trauma it creates for the sufferer. Recently Charlie McArdle met Christina who invited me into her world to see for myself what it's like living with hoarding.
