CNN Health News Article – ‘The stuff under the stuff’: People with hoarding disorder open up’

Last week we featured in a news article published by CNN in America, multiple brave individuals shared their personal experiences with hoarding disorder to raise awareness to the reality of the condition, highlighting that it runs a lot deeper than just having a lot of ‘stuff’, evidencing how common the behaviour is and the variation of triggers that can lead to it.

It is great to see media outlets around the world starting to change the narrative of their reporting of the condition, instead of stigmatising the behaviour they are starting to focus on the fact it is a recognised mental health condition which can require specialist intervention to overcome. We hope this will encourage those who are struggling in silence to come forward when they are ready knowing that compassionate and understanding support is out there.
