Why is the media so fixated on OCD being about hoarding, when hoarding is the opposite of everything that OCD stands for? People with OCD tend to be organized, neat freaks and clean. Hoarders on the other hand are disorganized, messy and a general health and safety hazard. They could not be further from the definition of obsessive compulsive disorder if they tried.
I wrote a longer piece on the subject here is anyone is interested:

YES YES YES !!! Thank you and finally. Hoarding gets its own diagnosis.
Now bring out the clutter phobes. We deserve much sympathy and attention.
Thanks for sharing this information.
