I watch this show, Intervention and Obsessed. I think hoarding is a mental illness...usually interconnected with depression and OCD. It bothers me that they don't seem to use the Cognitive therapy that they do on the Obsessed show. You can't go into a hoarder's house and simply expect to organize them...you need to help them face the mental illness first and give them the tools to maintain their world.
