PN-8100.0500-300Hoarding Support Groups Definition
Mutual support groups whose members are individuals who have difficulty controlling their compulsion to acquire possessions which clutter their living space creating a squalid environment, sometimes blocking exits, creating a fire hazard and putting them at risk for eviction. The groups meet in-person, by telephone or via the Internet, and provide emotional support, information and resources to help participants discard items they do not need, organize the possessions they wish to keep and, in general, bring order to their lives.
-

YF-5000.0500-550Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Definition
A disorder that is characterized by recurrent, persistent ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that invade consciousness and are experienced as senseless, anxiety provoking or repugnant; or repetitive and ritualistic behavior that is not an end in itself but designed, in the mind of the individual, to help bring about or prevent some future event or situation. Common obsessions include repetitive thoughts of violence, (killing one's child), contamination (becoming infected by shaking hands), and doubt (repeatedly wondering whether one has performed some action such as having hurt someone in a traffic accident). The most common compulsions involve repetitive hand washing, repetitive counting of certain things like cracks in the sidewalk, repetitive checking to see that a door is locked or a light is out, or repetitive touching of an object or a part of the body to make something happen or prevent it from occurring.
-
YF-5000.3300-220Compulsive Hoarding Definition
A pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive collection of possessions (often items of little value to others such as old newspapers, containers and clothing that may someday be "useful") coupled with the inability to discard and/or properly organize them creating a messy, sometimes unsanitary environment that, in extreme cases, no longer functions as a viable living space. When these behaviors are combined with severe self-neglect and hostility to the outside world, Diogenes syndrome (also known as senile squalor syndrome) may be the proper diagnosis.
-
YF-5000.8100-100Body Dysmorphic Disorder Definition
A disorder that is characterized by a preoccupation with an imagined or exaggerated defect in physical appearance.
