More about other research results
Lara - also, the full article also talks a lot about how compulsive hoarding (to the point of clutter that significantly disrupts normal functioning, such as the inability to cook meals and no place to sleep on the bed, no places to sit because all the chairs are stacked high, only narrow paths to walk thu the home, etc):
- CAN often be found in conjunction with various behavior addictions like Gambling... or pet hoarding.
- CAN be found in conjunction with OCPD rather than OCD itself....
There was simply so much research, so many correlations, that I chose only a relatively limited amount to feature above.
It also talks a lot about the anxiety patterns -- of just how the anxiety manifests in relationship to the behaviors. It talks about its association with Social Anxiety and Avoidance disorders.
It is, they say, sometimes called a Successful Compulsion. Those who have the most anxiety are renters who MUST admit landlords and maintenance personnel. Otherwise, virtually no one is ever admitted.
