Hoarding is a mental disorder where the individual makes extreme connections between items, memories, and emotions.

Getting rid of items is like throwing away something specials d apart of oneself.

The rise of this mental disorder tracks the rise of all mental disorders in the west (eg. >60% of our communities girls HS volleyball team last year were on antidepressants). There are known microcauses for this: isolation, not enough physical activity, little vitamin D/Sun exposure, family structure, etc.
