So I have been one of those that have been shaking my head at the "hoarders" that continue to take stuff from the shelves. Today there was as interview with several mental health experts who explained what is going on and yes, it boils down to mental illness. It is OCD at best, and at worst, a fear of never having enough of anything. When anything out of the usual occurs (hurricanes is another example) the fear of not being in control kicks in and taking stuff gives them a feeling of being in control. So maybe hoarders is too broad a term and maybe we should sympathize with those that are afflicted...??
