This chapter explores how challenges in executive function skills and cognitive processes can lead to clutter and disorganization in individuals with ADHD and hoarding disorder. It discusses similarities and differences in acquiring behavior, difficulties in decision-making, and the benefits of cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques in managing clutter. The chapter also addresses the importance of tailored treatments for individuals with ADHD and hoarding disorder to improve organizational skills and reduce clutter.
