Compulsive hoarding is defined, in most cases, as 'the inability to resist the urge to acquire possessions and to discard possessions'. Compulsive hoarding has an early age onset, chronic course and significant levels of comorbidity and morbidity.
This article outlines the essential features of compulsive hoarding occurring as a symptom factor of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and alludes to hoarding co-occurring in a range of disorders other than OCD. A test screening for compulsive hoarding is provided.
Compulsive hoarding occurs in illnesses other than OCD. Limited treatment studies have been completed only when compulsive hoarding is a symptom factor of OCD. These studies suggest that a pharmacological approach and multimodal cognitive behavioural therapy can achieve a moderate treatment outcome. The illness however is difficult to treat.
在大多数情况下,强迫性囤积被定义为“无法抗拒获取物品和丢弃物品的冲动”。强迫性囤积起病较早,病程呈慢性,共病率和发病率较高。
本文概述了作为强迫症(OCD)症状因素出现的强迫性囤积的基本特征,并提及在除OCD之外的一系列疾病中同时出现的囤积行为。还提供了一项强迫性囤积的测试筛查。
强迫性囤积发生在OCD以外的疾病中。仅当强迫性囤积是OCD的症状因素时,才完成了有限的治疗研究。这些研究表明,药物治疗方法和多模式认知行为疗法可以取得中等程度的治疗效果。然而,这种疾病很难治疗。
