People who suffer from maladies such as depression or obsessive compulsive disorders often end up buying things, bringing them home and dropping them. Rather than looking for what they own, they simply go out and buy more and do the same thing.....over and over and over again. We call this behavior..... Shop n Drop. It is not clear whether compulsive hoarding is a condition in itself, or simply a symptom of other related conditions. Several studies have reported a correlation between hoarding and the presence and/or severity of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Hoarding behaviour is also related to obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). In my opinion, clinically proven disease or not, these people need some serious help.
