Heather Padilla is a 42 year-old woman who considers herself a “foodie;” that is, she
likes to collect all kinds of condiments, sauces, and seasonings. She takes great pleasure
adding to her collection and does not see this as a problem. However, her boyfriend sees
her “collection” quite differently and it has started to cause stress in their relationship. He
states that Heather does not use these condiments and there are bottles and jars
everywhere. When the kitchen cupboards filled up, Heather began storing her
“collection” on the counters, in the bathroom, bedroom, and just about on any surface
that could hold them. Some of her collection has sat unused for years. Heather has begun
to extend her collection to saving napkins, paper plates, restaurant menus, and used take
out cartons because “you never know when you might need them.” What is the most
appropriate diagnosis for Heather?
a) Hoarding disorder
b) Delusional disorder
c) Specific phobia
d) Separation anxiety disorder
