Living with hoarding disorder can greatly impact an individual’s quality of life. The disorder causes individuals to accumulate and hold onto items that may be deemed unnecessary or even harmful, leading to overwhelming levels of clutter in their living spaces. Hoarding disorder is often linked with other mental health conditions such as OCD, anxiety, and depression.
One of the major concerns with hoarding disorder is that it can create hazardous living conditions, making it difficult for sufferers to receive visitors and support. This can lead to health and safety risks, including fire hazards and hygiene issues.
The NHS provides treatment for hoarding disorder, including cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps individuals address and manage their hoarding behaviors. However, it is also crucial to remove the accumulated items from the living space.
Scotland House Clearance is experienced in handling delicate and challenging house clearances, including those resulting from hoarding disorder. We understand that house clearances are not just routine events, and often occur during difficult times such as bereavement or illness. Our priority is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible for all involved.
We work closely with individuals, family members, and mental health professionals to tailor our services to meet their specific needs. Our services include full clearance of rubbish, furniture, and waste; in-depth cleaning of the property; preparing the property for viewings; vehicle removal and handling dealings with the DVLA; recycling hazardous materials; document and asset retrieval; and sorting possessions to be kept.
We take great care to not remove anything that may hold sentimental value to the individual. By taking on as much of the removal process as possible, we aim to alleviate some of the stress and burden on family and friends, allowing them to focus on the wellbeing and recovery of the sufferer.
