- [Why Do People Hoard?](https://torontohoardingservices.ca/why-do-people-hoard/): The question that can immediately enter your mind when you witness a hoarding situation is “Why would someone live this way?” When you witness this situation you might have thoughts such as “They must be too lazy to clean” or “I know if I junked all this stuff they would be relieved”. The first thought is labelling the person in a negative light, and this only adds insult to injury. Acting on the second thought could be dangerous and send the hoarder into an emotional tailspin – possibly leading to suicide or hospitalization. It is very important to move past judgment and labelling. The success of intervention depends […]

The danger of hoarding stems from the impact storing large […]
