Stacks of newspapers piled in the living room, or the dozens of cats that live in appalling conditions inside a house, or piles of different things parallax distortion in the garden ..All signs of the problem of 'Storage compulsive'.
Storage compulsive. Although the «fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illness» (DSM-IV) does not indicate in their lists to the «storage compulsive» compulsive hoarding as one of the mental disorders, this type of behavior was seen, traditionally, as a branch of obsessive-compulsive disorders.
Shows the storage compulsive behavior in approximately between 25 and 30 per cent of people with obsessive-compulsive disorders - or 0.4 per cent of the U.S. population.
However, the research assumes that this problem may be more widespread. Symptoms may appear on storage with autism, schizophrenia (schizophrenia), dementia, or mental retardation, in addition to her appearance in healthy people.
As indicated by the results of surveys in areas of the local population to be 5 per cent of the population of the United States may acquire this form of behavior.
It also assumes that the initial studies of the nervous filming that both storage-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorders are active in different brain regions - which offers more evidence that the two conditions are distinct symptoms.

The description of three of the basic features of the storage-compulsive disorder: the accumulation of a large number of holdings, which looks to others is of interest, accumulation of things in live sites are difficult to use those sites, and the turmoil caused by the concrete behavior shelf.
According to this model, people with compulsive storage are also people at risk because they Persons not Alhazmin, the organizers, who have procrastination, and who avoid others.
But that which remains vague is: why some people become who possess such qualities of the injured storage disorder while others do not become one of them, living with him? Research indicates that the storage behavior appears in the habit at the age of 12 or 13 years, then getting worse with age.
However, the problem does not show visible only when the big man in the Age, when suffering from health problems and are exposed to fall, and fire incidents or complaints from neighbors, and then his command is detected by specialists.
In a few cases, storage disorder begins after exposure to brain damage or damage to neurons in the brain cortex region, which oversees the decision-making processes.
And usually this problem is common among members of the same family. It said about 85 per cent of those infected storage disorder reported that one of the first-degree relatives who has it: parents, children or siblings.

However, the small study are often referred to, comparing medication «Paroksian» (paroxetine) («Paxil Paxil) and between eating placebo for 12 weeks by 38 suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (17 of whom were infected with storage-compulsive disorder).

For example, I found the control studies using placebo with obsessive-compulsive disorder, that people who have a storage behavior are less responsive to these medications from people who do not have that behavior.
However, the small study reported that only one with storage symptoms responded well to these drugs, such as the quality of the response of people with obsessive-compulsive disorders.
The study included 79 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders - 32 of them were injured storage disorder, did not suffer him to 47 others. Everyone has dealt Medicine «Paroksian» for a period of 12 weeks.
By the end of the study responded to about a third of the participants in both groups and the back of the improvement in the symptoms are identical to their personnel.

The researchers also suggested conducting home visits and help people to get rid of accumulated stuff.
By the end of the study, the researchers reached the conclusion that the conditions of 5 out of 10 patients in the study completed a series of treatment has greatly improved or very much.
In a follow-up study to that study, the researchers assessed themselves as cognitive behavioral therapy, but this time the collective, which spans a period of 16 to 20 weeks of meetings spanning two hours.
It also has visit homemade injured twice, for 90 minutes each time.However, these premises were less effective in relieving symptoms half compared to intensive individual therapy effectively.
Successful intervention

The study included 190 people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, 20 of whom were infected with storage compulsive symptoms.
All participants spent a period of 6 weeks in intensive cognitive behavioral therapy per day, while taking most medications.
By the end of the study showed that 45 per cent of sufferers of storage disorder responded to treatment, although they did not benefit from it as much as the benefit of others is suffering from compulsive storage.
