Finders Keepers - reporting on hoarding disorder

  • Share

Freelance journalist Erin O'Dwyer wrote a insightful and sensitive account of psychologist Meredith Fuller's life growing up in her mother Judith's "hoarded house" for Sunday Life magazine.

'Finders Keepers' offers a comphrensive range of facts about hoarding disorder and focuses not only on Judith's mental illness but on her life as a whole.

O'Dwyer tells SANE she spoke to a number of people off the record about the disorder to gain a better understanding before writing the article.

This detailed and balanced reporting is an example of how responsible journalism can inform about and also encourage understanding of mental illness.
