In all seriousness, it can be a very problematic psychological disorder. I wish more people could/would/ avail themselves of help for this one. It would minimize those articles about rescue workers not being able to get into houses filled to the brim with old newspapers...
Ken, this reminds me of my first job right after the Army with a local pesticide company, we had jobs in apartment buildings and condos where the association contracted us to do the whole building, we held the keys to each unit...some of the stuff I saw. I remember going into one particular aprtment and I couldn't barely walk in the front door, the bathtub was even full of crap, and I do mean full to the rim.
I was actually surprised how much of this I saw. Needless to say that is one job I didn't have for long.
