Abstract

Through media depictions, the public is becoming increasingly aware of the phenomenon of hoarding. Hoarding refers to the excessive acquisition of relatively worthless items, which eventually results in the compromise of living space and/or the daily activities of affected individuals. As a symptom, hoarding is relatively common in a significant minority of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder, symptoms typically emerge in the teens through the early 20s. However, hoarding also appears to exist as a distinct syndrome, which is characterized by late onset, childhood adversity, various Axis II traits, and a history of alcohol misuse. While the explicit position of hoarding in the psychiatric nomenclature remains undetermined, this behavior is likely to surface in both psychiatric and primary care settings.

囤积症:强迫症还是综合症?
通过媒体的描述,公众越来越意识到囤积现象。囤积症是指过度购买相对没有价值的物品,最终导致患者的生活空间和/或日常活动受到损害。作为一种症状,囤积症在少数强迫症患者中相对常见。在强迫症的背景下,症状通常出现在青少年到20岁出头。然而,囤积症似乎也作为一种独特的综合征存在,其特点是发病晚、童年逆境、各种第二轴特征和酗酒史。虽然囤积在精神病学术语中的明确位置仍未确定,但这种行为可能在精神病学和初级保健机构中都有出现。
