Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Hoarding disorder (HD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent difficulty discarding possessions.
  • It leads to significant clutter, distress, and functional impairment.
  • The case involves a 52-year-old man with a 20-year history of hoarding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case study of hoarding disorder.
  • To illustrate the effectiveness of a combined psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatment approach.

Main Methods:

  • A 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with hoarding disorder was treated.
  • Treatment included psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy.
  • Pharmacological intervention with fluvoxamine and quetiapine was administered.

Main Results:

  • The patient experienced progressive symptom improvement.
  • After nine months, the patient successfully sold or recycled most accumulated items.
  • No psychotic symptoms were observed during the mental status examination.

Conclusions:

  • Combined psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions can be effective for hoarding disorder.
  • Further research on hoarding disorder treatments is needed to improve patient outcomes.
  • Successful treatment can reduce hazards and enhance the quality of life for individuals with HD.
