Hoarding Disorder is characterized by persistent difficulty in parting with possessions, leading to significant emotional distress and cognitive dysfunction, impacting daily functioning.
Neuropsychological research shows that those with Hoarding Disorder struggle with categorization, attention, and memory, which are critical for decision-making about possessions.
fMRI studies reveal individuals with Hoarding Disorder exhibit hyperactivation in the anterior cingulate cortex and insula, indicating strong emotional responses and impaired cognitive control.
Understanding the neuropsychological roots of Hoarding Disorder can help inform effective interventions, addressing the cognitive and emotional facets intertwined with the disorder.
