Great article, Michael! The breakdown of shared challenges between ADHD and hoarding disorder is super insightful, especially the differences in emotional attachment to items and task avoidance. I found the part about how ADHD involves more impulsivity around acquiring items, while hoarding is driven by an intense urge to save, to be particularly eye-opening.
One thing I’m curious about—have you seen specific ADHD strategies, like task management or time awareness, work well for individuals with hoarding disorder too? I’d love to hear more about any crossover in treatment approaches!
