Abstract:
Clinical management of hoarding disorder is challenging because of the weak insight of people with hoarding disorder, the lack of available tools for disease management in the health care system, and the absence of communication between health care and primary responders. To tackle this communication gap and, hence, improve clinical management of hoarding disorder, a community partnership initiated by people with hoarding disorder took place in Montreal. This initiative could profitably offer guidelines for other communities facing hoarding disorder challenges.
