Hoarding Disorder
A clinical psychologist is evaluating three different clients. Client A is unable to discard any possessions, leading to a dangerously cluttered home. Client B spends several hours each day examining and trying to hide a small scar on their arm that others do not notice. Client C feels an overwhelming need to tap every doorway they pass through exactly three times. According to the diagnostic framework used by mental health professionals, what is the primary characteristic that groups these distinct conditions into the same diagnostic category?
