Curing the Hoarding Disorder

In the land of "he who dies with the most toys wins" and where we're taught that more-and-more possessions will make us happy, it's hardly a surprise that hoarding is of epidemic proportions. Though the disorder has been addressed piecemeal, Catholic Charities of Milwaukee created a comprehensive Hoarding Intervention & Treatment Program in 2016, whose Director, Carla Alejo, is also chair of the Milwaukee Hoarding Task Force.

Other organizations addressing elements of the disorder are The Anxiety Treatment Center, the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, & the International OCD Foundation.
