Help I'm A Hoarder
by TLC
Some people hoard after they suffer the loss of a loved one, keeping items that belong to the dead person as a way to "keep them around". Others hoard because it creates a layer of insulation around them, a blanket between themselves and the rest of the world. Hoarded items are usually paper - newspapers, brochures, advertisements, and junk mail - but can include food, broken items, clothes, books, and on rare occasions even animals. In this one-hour long documentary, we'll show you the mental anguish behind the eyes of three individuals who face the devastating effects of compulsive hoarding. We'll talk to doctors and professional organizers, meet with family members, and examine the latest in scientific research to uncover the Help! I'm a Hoarder.
