Hoarding is a personality disorder or maybe even a disease, but if you start hoarding at an older age, without any particular reason, consider this a potential Alzheimer’s sign. This surprising sign and other compulsive behaviors and the sudden need to collect objects you don’t need, have shown to be connected to early dementia. This is usually noticed by the partner of the person suffering, spotting stashes of unused, unnecessary items or old and broken pieces with a sentimental value he refuses to throw out. Definitely schedule an appointment with your doctor and talk to him about this matter before it gets out of hand.
