The popular network A&E has produced one of televisions most watched shows this year – Hoarders. The show documents the stories of individuals and families who are considered "trapped" within piles and piles of junk in their homes. Many watch Hoarders in total disgust thinking, "how can you live like that!"

According to Wikipediar.org, hoarding is a general term used for the accumulation of food or other items. The word is used to describe both animal and human behavior. This type of behavior is a typical behavior in children.

Hoarding as a human behavior can be triggered either by a response to a predicted shortage of specific goods or due to a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to acquire and keep things (also known as Compulsive Hoarding). Majority of the time, the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. 

Most of the individuals on A&E's Hoarders, experienced some type of emotional mishap which then led them to collect unnecessary items. Emotional mishaps range from childhood trauma, loss of a loved one, life changing diagnosis, to loss of a job.

Items most hoarders tend to collect:

• Stuffed animals
• Canned food

• Newspapers
• Baseball cards
• Boxes
• Clothes
• Hats
• Shoes
• Money
• Books
• Children toys
• Dishes
• Video tapes

If you or a loved one may be suffering from hoarding, there are several organizations, such as Pack-Rat) that are able to help. You may also want to consult with a psychologist in order to assist with their mental well-being.
