This is such a gross misrepresentation of those suffering from the myriad of mental health issues that can manifest as hoarding.

Hoarders aren’t stupid people “collecting” trash on purpose. It is a manifestation of unhealthy coping mechanisms surrounding resource instability, so they have a tougher time mentally letting go of things because they might need it later and not be able to obtain replacements, or an issue of executive function where the trash becomes a mountain too large for them to climb and they have spiraled out.
