An Overview of the Connection between Hoarding Disorder and Substance Use Disorder

Full Text(PDF, 47KB)

Author: Yibo Wang, Tian Tian

Abstract: This essay explores the connections between Hoarding Disorder and Substance Use Disorder, two distinct mental health conditions with clear diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5. Hoarding Disorder, marked by excessive possession accumulation and difficulties in letting go, affects 2-6% of the global population, leading to severe consequences. Potential causes include genetic predisposition, neural issues, and traumatic experience. Substance Use Disorder is influenced by more societal factors. Both disorders share a comorbidity in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Network analysis shows a strong direct relationship between Hoarding Disorder and ADHD, while social influences increase ADHD prevalence in Substance Use Disorder individuals. Moreover, both disorders benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Exposure and Ritual Prevention effectively address hoarding symptoms, while CBT for Substance Use Disorder focuses on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Despite being classified as a mental illness in DSM-5, Hoarding Disorder receives less attention than Substance Use Disorder. This essay aims to raise awareness of Hoarding Disorder by highlighting its commonalities with Substance Use Disorder in terms of causes, comorbidities, and treatment approaches.
