[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] After the Chinese New Year cleaning, the room is still full of unused things. Is it hoarding?

The psychologist explained that hoarding disorder is actually a kind of compulsive behavior. Through the accumulation of "old things", the hoarder believes that he can escape the grief of being separated from "some important relationship".
