Summary

In this episode, Heather Tingle explores the difference between hoarding disorder and chronic disorganisation. She explains that while hoarding disorder involves difficulty parting with possessions and significant distress, chronic disorganisation is more closely linked with ADHD and involves struggles with decision-making and maintaining organisation. Heather emphasises the importance of decluttering and creating strategies to keep on top of the home for both hoarding disorder and chronic disorganisation. She provides tips for managing chronic disorganisation, such as identifying the biggest stressor and prioritising decluttering in that area. Heather encourages listeners to be kind to themselves and seek support if needed.
