Hoarding has become increasingly recognized as a mental health concern in both Brazilian and American contexts. In the USA, the cultural emphasis on decluttering and minimalism has made 'hoarded items' a frequently discussed topic in media and self-help industries. In Brazil, while hoarding is less discussed in mainstream culture, growing mental health awareness is bringing attention to compulsive accumulation behaviors, particularly in urban areas. The term reflects broader contemporary concerns about consumerism, anxiety, and psychological well-being.
