I watched that episode set. Good grief, I'm afraid of turning into this woman. Either way, there were some fabulous tips on how to fix such messes.

There is an amazing lack of hoarders in countries like Haiti and Sierra Leone....only in America

I could not believe this woman went on national TV showing the world her mess. Wish they would check back with her in a year to see if she learned her lesson.

Too bad it won't last. Hoarders are mental and without ongoing treatment will soon relapse back to their "normal" practices.
I'm more amazed that a ginormous rummage sale (including 3000 pairs of shoes and 3000 handbags) only earned them $13000 USD. I'm thinking Porky and her gang skimmed the cream off of that sale.

Compulsive hoarding [wiki] is a disease. This woman needs psychological help, otherwise she'll just revert back.
This reminds me of the story of Homer and Langley Collyer, who died buried by the garbage that they've accumulated in their home. Part of Neatorama's 30 Strangest Deaths article (about mid-way down).

The team actually did involve a psychiatrist, and they stressed the same thing (that mental help is necessary). they showed several clips with Sharyn and Marvin talking to the guy. Whether the continue with it after the show or not . . . who knows?
i agree that they should follow up, too, but i think in like six months. the sooner they check in, the less mess they'll have to clean up.

These people need a house fire. No kidding. My parents just lost everything in one of the San Diego fires and now feel liberated from their horde or stuff. Being over-insured didn't hurt either.

This black mold matches my new outfit perfectly!
I hope they washed the textiles before they put them out for sale. Eech!

Obsessive hoarding is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder, which is a form of anxiety disorder.
One of my inlaws and his wife have it. It is unbelievable the amount of crap they have. And every weekend they go garage saleing for more!

To think if these people where to 'horde' their money into a high yield savings account every time they felt the need to buy something...$13K would be chicken scratch.

It wasn't "GARBAGE" (as you use in your title). It was new items that she had shopped for but never used. A small portion of it had been damaged over time.

Actually, they did remove 75 tons of trash from the home, in addition to the thousands of pounds of sellable items that went to the rummage sale. According to the information on the site, the couple kept less than 5% of the original "stuff" in the house.

There are hoarders everywhere in the world not just the US.
