| | The Infinite Mind: Hoarding and Clutter |
| | Frost defines hoarding as the acquisition and saving of unneeded items to the point that it causes significant distress, and says that sometimes hoarding can even preclude the use of furniture and spaces. | | | This show looks at hoarding, which involves the accumulation and inability to throw away unneeded possessions, to the point that a home may become so filled with stuff that furniture and rooms can no longer be used for their intended purposes. | | | Taking a call from a listener who has this problem, and is concerned that she may pass it on to her daughter, Dr. Frost says that people who hoard often have a close relative who also has saving problems, but it's unclear whether this is the result of genetics of modeling. |
