MIAMI - Compulsive hoarding is manifest in more than just a subset of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A percentage of patients with general anxiety disorder and social phobia also reported hoarding symptoms in a study presented at the annual conference of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America.
Compulsive hoarding was originally defined as "acquisition of or failure to discard possessions that appear to be useless or of limited value." However, the definition was expanded to include significant clutter in the home and behavior that causes impairment (Behav. Res. Ther. 1996;34: 341-50).
"Compulsive hoarding is frequently associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but what about other anxiety disorders?" asked Suzanne A. Meunier, Ph.D., a researcher at the Institute of Living, a part of Hartford (Conn.) Hospital.
