In reply to question on storing up many things, posted by Randi on March 21, 2005, at 21:29:54
My dad does this. He has piles of old magazines and every piece of paper that he has written on for his work (and he writes a lot). They are supposed to be moving to a retirement community in a year or so and my mother has no idea what to do with the piles of papers that he won't throw out. It is a hard problem.
Unfortunately, it seems that this hoarding kind of OCD doesn't respond as well to medication. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is the treatment of choice (I believe). Like I'll ever get my dad into therapy.............
