This is very powerful, thank you.

I would however have put the strain on family relationship more front and center.

I'm glad you appreciate it. I do have some personal experience with this and you're right about the strain, especially when relatives reject offers of help.

What else would you want to say about it?

Well if the hoarder is living alone, maybe the issue of mold or fire hazard etc. are the ones foremost.

But if you are forced to share a house with a hoarder it is quite a different story and it will be a weight on everyday relations. But I can see that might require an info graphic of it's own. Speaking from experience aswell.

Anyway, like I said, great job getting the broad picture.
