Today we’re talking about a woman who unknowingly lived with her son’s dead body for years before he was discovered, and a man who was found mummified inside a hoarder’s home. Let’s get into it.

Disclaimer:

Much like any mental disorder, hoarding carries a certain stigma with it that can make life more difficult for those who suffer from it.

We’re not here to lay judgement on anyone, we’re just looking to explore a topic from an unbiased position.

If you have any concerns about your mental health, please speak to a psychiatrist so that you can determine what kind of support you need.
