Everyone knows someone who may be an over-the-top collector. There are no stones being thrown in this cluttered glass house, many of us have our secret junk closets or garage-brimming sets of collections.  It appears, however, there may be a fine line between serial collectors and true hoarders.  This short article from DISCOVER Magazine was a fascinating glimpse into hoarders and includes some recommendations for helping them.  At the end there is a link to what looks like a new book for those interested in the deeper topic.


“Hoarders cannot stop themselves from accumulating stuff—even if they live in fetid, rotting homes that ruin their lives. Visit Discover Magazine to read this article and other exclusive science and technology news stories.” – DiscoverMag
