Summary
Accelerated cathodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) shows promise for treating hoarding disorder. This novel approach may alleviate acquisition and depressive symptoms, offering a new therapeutic avenue.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
- Clinical Psychology
Background:
- Hoarding disorder is under-recognized, difficult to treat, and causes significant disability.
- Novel therapeutic strategies are critically needed for hoarding disorder.
- Non-invasive brain stimulation, particularly over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), shows potential for psychiatric conditions and impulsivity modulation.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...
