Hoarding disorder is characterized by difficulty parting with possessions due to strong urges to save the items, leading to the excessive accumulation of items. High clutter levels result in varied personal, social, and legal consequences. Specialized treatments, including individual, virtual, and group cognitive and behavioral therapies, community-based interventions, and peer support approaches have shown preliminary effectiveness. Animal, attachment, and neurobiological models are expanding our understanding of the etiological bases of the disorder. Specialized populations such as children, older adults, and involuntary patients are highlighted as requiring special consideration for intervention and risk mitigation. Directions for future research are identified.

Background: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is conventionally considered the primary intervention for Hoarding Disorder (HD), yet various psychological interventions have recently emerged. This study, pre-registered at Prospero (CRD42023427534), aims to comprehensively assess a range of psychological interventions, including CBT, for reducing HD symptomatology.
Methods: A systematic literature search using PubMed and SCOPUS identified 41 eligible studies comprising 47 samples (N = 1343).

Background Researcher and psychologist Kieron Philip O'Connor (1950-2019) pioneered the cognitive and behavioural approach at the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (IUSMM). It was there that he began a career as a clinical researcher studying Tourette's syndrome (TS) and obsessive-compulsive and related disorder (OCD). At the time, apart from some behavioural approaches, little cognitive intervention was available to treat chronic tics and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Article Synopsis
- - Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) refers to a range of addictive behaviors affecting many people, prompting research on KB220 and its variants to tackle these issues.
- - The studies focus on various impacts of KB220, including cravings, substance abuse prevention, and mental health conditions like ADHD and eating disorders.
- - The review posits that KB220 is more effective than GLP-1 analogs in improving brain functions related to reward and dopamine balance without negatively affecting the reward system.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that early life stress (ELS) impacts hoarding behavior in adult humans. This study aimed to assess the potential mitigation by environmental enrichment on hoarding behavior in rodents caused by maternal separation, thereby providing insights into therapeutic strategies for hoarding disorder.
Methods: Newborn mice were randomly divided into four groups.
