Those with ADHD Tend To Hoard
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/hnkLtoEJjIA
Individuals with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at least 6 times more likely to evidence a hoarding disorder (HD) that significantly interferes with the conduct of their lives. So say psychologists at the UK’s Anglia Ruskin University following their study of 88 patients in an ADHD clinic, a matched control group of 90 persons, and an online sample of 220 UK residents.
The 19% of ADHD patients with severe and life-inhibiting hoarding behaviors were surprisingly in their 30’s with an equal number of males and females impacted. Even among the remaining 81 of ADHD patients, there was a measurable tendency toward hoarding.
Previous studies of those with hoarding disorder concentrated on older females who self-identified and sought help with their tendencies to fill their living spaces with a suffocating quantity of items. The new information this study reveals is that younger adults are similarly afflicted.
