Yesterday I was talking with one of my friend, and she told me that one of her relatives show the symptom of a hoarder. I thought she was kidding with me. But when I look at the pictures she took at her relative's house, I am like... oh my... This is one of the most severe hoarding behavior I have seen. Her relative is collecting plastic bag from the super market, thousands of them. Other than this, the lady (my friend's relative) also collect garbage that her neighbor throw away! She is staying in a cozy and spacious flat with 3 bedrooms, but with all the stuff she collected over the years, now in her house you can only see a narrow walking path. It's still not that bad as the house has a clear path of walking because of the other tenants stay inside. I wonder, if she has never rent out the other 2 rooms to other people, her house will definitely be in a mess like those show in Google Images when you search for "Compulsive Hoarding".
I think I have to do something to help her with this. Compulsive hoarding is a serious disorder that no one should overlook. And if one overlooked it, the circumstances will be serious.
