Anyone See A&E's Show, "Hoarders"

[Yavin4]

It's a show about people who hoard and never throw anything away. Their houses are filled with complete filth. Onw woman did not have a working toilet, so she used adult diapers and her house was literally filled with used adult diapers. It was truly revolting.

I have personal experience with such people. My sister is a hoarder as well as my roommate, and just like the people on the show, I believe that it's triggered by people who have lost someone in their lives. Our parents died in 1985 and 1990, and my sister still has not recovered. My roommate began hoarding after his mom died. Free space is getting less and less in my apartment.

That show struck a real chord with me.

On Edit:

Here are clips from the show:
