Best Answers

The act of hoarding items is not abuse. However, the hoarder's control over the personal space of all who live in the hoard, and the extremes to which many hoarders will go in order to defend their hoard very commonly cross the line into abusive behavior. read more

No, hoarding is already classified as a mental disorder, I believe, and we do not classify mental conditions as inherently abusive.
