Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Whether it counts as a disability for housing or work depends on the situation and the law. A tenant rights group, a housing agency or an attorney can answer for a specific case.
The main risks are fire, falls, pests, mold and trouble getting help. Blocked exits slow escape and slow firefighters and paramedics. A cleanup lowers these risks in order, starting with exits and fire hazards.
