Support ICD®

It is estimated that up to 5% of the US population, over 10 million Americans, struggle with hoarding behavior – and that’s only one of the many issues that complicate the lives of people affected by chronic disorganization.

Research shows that excessive clutter and disorganization can be symptoms of a larger health problem. Some common causes are: ADHD, Brain injury, Memory issues, Depression, Chronic pain, Emotional trauma, Grief.

These challenges often prevent people from getting organized and may lead to an abundance of clutter. Quality of life is negatively affected on a daily basis.

The ripple effect of chronic disorganization is profound, impacting not just the individuals living with it but their entire social circle.

  • Children risk compromised development across social spheres, dietary habits, and educational foundations, creating lifelong imprints.
  • Families endure significant friction, often pushing relationships to their limits, possibly leading to broken homes.
  • Workplace dynamics suffer, creating tension between colleagues and compromising productivity, thus creating more tension at home.

Your donations help fund research and disseminate knowledge to create positive change that has the power to transform lives. Become part of the solution by donating to ICD.
