Hoarding in users of online classified advertsements

Hoarding disorder (HD) is a mental disorder that has been newly included in the  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. It is estimated that 2-6% of adults in the general population suffer from clinically significant hoarding symptoms, with 80 to 90% engaging in excessive acquisition [1]. Little research has examined the excessive acquisition component of hoarding disorder(HD), although preliminary evidence suggests that buying and obtaining free things are markers of HD severity.
