Are Hoarding and OCD the same thing?

Compulsive hoarding was commonly considered to be a type of obsessive compulsive disorder (or OCD).  Compulsive hoarding is also considered a feature of obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and may develop along with other mental illnesses, including, but not limited to dementia and schizophrenia. When handling a hoarding situation it is important to be delicate, professional, and understanding to all of those involved.
