Skopid: what does this mean and how to treat?

The obsession with storing various things for the purpose of stockpiling refers to mental obsessive-compulsive disorder. To cure the patient, it is necessary to understand the causes of skopidomstva.

Unlike a thrifty person who has a sense of self-preservation due to forced lack of money, Skopid stores shabby, sometimes completely unusable things. Squeegee reluctantly parted with objects that have served their term. They clutter up his apartment. Zhadina prefers to go to old.

For the sake of saving a few cents, the hunks are ready to go to the other end of the city with the aim of buying almost expired products. Accustomed to save on any trifles, they will save every penny, and at the same time, skopidomas can have substantial cash deposits in the bank.

Some may complain of chronic lack of money, although in fact they have no financial problems. Most often, over time, people who are prone to hoarding, change their character for the worse: perseverance degenerates into obstinacy, caution into suspicion, frugality into narrow-mindedness.

The following reasons can contribute to the development of skopidomy:

• adverse heredity, a predisposition to anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder sometimes manifests itself in descendants in the form of abnormal accumulation;
• head injury or encephalitis can damage decision-making neurons;
• a traumatic situation related to the death of a loved one, close relative, a serious illness of the second half or one's own disease;
• the difficult financial situation in the past develops in some people the habit of counting every penny;
• ordinary habit to save money "for a rainy day";
• the total shortage of products and things in Soviet times could put in the human subconscious the fear of the disappearance of goods from shelves of outlets overnight;
• senile dementia also often becomes the cause of excessive greed, an abnormal tendency to pathological accumulation;
• personality characteristics of socially unadapted people and individuals, prone to excessive frugality, prudence and stinginess; with the constant cultivation of these character traits, such people may well replenish the ranks of scopidomas;
• the perception of the purchased property and the unwillingness to part with it more, since it takes on special value in the eyes of the miser.

Skuperdyay not always beggars. Most often, such people have a good income, but they don’t invest or sell money. They prefer to hide them and preserve the property that has accumulated before at any cost. These actions become profiling in the behavior. Subsequently, the following symptoms appear:

• irritability;
• short temper;
• aggression;
• emotional instability.

The elderly, suffering from skopidomstvo due to senile dementia, are characterized by the following clinical manifestations:

• sloppy, indifferent attitude to their appearance;
• incredulity, lack of sociability;
• social degradation;
• loss of realistic installations;
• apathy;
• lack of shame;
• mess in the living room.

Such patients are reluctant to contact.

A sign of pathological accumulation is the preservation of old things that are unlikely to be useful in the future, as well as their dumping into a heap indiscriminately and sorted. A person suffering from a mania of frugality usually spares money for food. He does not shun expired moldy products. Skopid does not like to see doctors and skimp on the purchase of drugs.

Skopidomstvo is a serious mental disorder requiring the intervention of a qualified specialist. Treatment is often hindered by a misunderstanding of a problem by a person who suffers from mania of frugality. In difficult cases, assistance is provided in stationary conditions. With outpatient treatment, the psychotherapist can use cognitive-behavioral therapy.

It can be antidepressants, antipsychotics, vascular drugs. Medicines are used strictly as prescribed by a specialist and under his supervision. Short courses of taking medications improve overall well-being, but do not completely relieve phobia.

After pharmacological treatment, patients become calm. They become able to make contact. Then you should find an individual approach to them and try to agree.

If relatives or acquaintances suffer from hoarding syndrome, the following actions must be taken.

• The hunks should be convinced that old objects tend to accumulate a lot of dust and decay. Things may contain too many bacteria and parasites that are harmful to human health.
• You need to persuade skopidoma to get rid of old magazines, shabby clothes and other garbage. You can refer to the beliefs of the Chinese that trash contains a lot of negative energy, which prevents the penetration of positive energy flows into the house.In addition, if a thing has not been used for three years, then it is not needed.
• In an unsuccessful attempt to enlighten the patient you need to slowly throw things away, but so that the scrupulous man himself does not notice their decrease, otherwise their replacement will occur at an incredible speed.
• A greedy person should be assured that there is no point in total savings. You need to update your things more often, periodically please yourself with gifts. From this he certainly does not impoverish, but he will experience a feeling of joy and satisfaction completely.
• Excessive stinginess often ends in failure. It is necessary to convince a sick person that a pile of things carries a great danger to human life in the event of a fire. Due to the blocked approach to housing, the fire department and ambulance will not be able to get into the house or apartment and save people, as well as their pets.

Helping skuperdyu is to return a person from a past life and immerse him in the present - awareness of the value of his own being and the search for his place in the real world.
