Zaburzenie zbieractwa
Rokowania, prognozy i postęp choroby

Zaburzenie zbieractwa to przewlekłe schorzenie psychiczne, rozpoczynające się zwykle około 16. roku życia, charakteryzujące się kompulsywnym gromadzeniem przedmiotów i trudnościami w ich usuwaniu, co prowadzi do znacznego upośledzenia funkcjonowania. Współwystępowanie zaburzeń nastroju i lękowych u około 66% pacjentów komplikuje obraz kliniczny i pogarsza rokowanie. Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna (CBT) wykazuje umiarkowaną skuteczność, zwłaszcza po 12 tygodniach, redukując nasilenie objawów zbieractwa i poprawiając nastrój. Czynniki takie jak wysoka motywacja do zmiany i unikanie strategii radzenia sobie o charakterze unikowym sprzyjają lepszym wynikom terapeutycznym. Natomiast wysoki poziom zaprzeczania i nagromadzenia przedmiotów predysponuje do przerwania leczenia. Farmakoterapia inhibitorami wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny (SRI) wykazuje ograniczoną skuteczność, a obecność objawów zbieractwa u pacjentów z OCD wiąże się z gorszą odpowiedzią na leczenie chirurgiczne układu limbicznego (zmniejszenie wyniku Y-BOCS o 22,7% ± 25,9% vs 41,6% ± 32,2%; p = 0,006).

Diagnostyka i przebieg zaburzenia zbieractwa

Zaburzenie zbieractwa (ang. hoarding disorder) to stan psychiczny charakteryzujący się kompulsywnym gromadzeniem przedmiotów i znacznym dyskomfortem przy próbie pozbycia się ich. Choroba ta ma zazwyczaj przewlekły i postępujący charakter, co wpływa na rokowanie i efektywność terapii.1 Początki objawów najczęściej pojawiają się w późnej adolescencji, około 16. roku życia, i utrzymują się przez całe życie pacjenta.2 Występowanie zaburzenia zbieractwa jest częstsze w starszych grupach wiekowych w porównaniu z młodszymi.3

Warto zauważyć, że u prawie dwóch trzecich osób z zaburzeniem zbieractwa współwystępują zaburzenia nastroju lub lękowe, co dodatkowo komplikuje obraz kliniczny i wpływa na rokowanie.4 Obecna literatura wskazuje na niedodiagnozowanie tego schorzenia z powodu niskiej świadomości społecznej oraz ograniczonej wiedzy wśród pracowników ochrony zdrowia, co negatywnie wpływa na możliwość wczesnej interwencji i poprawę wyników leczenia.5

Rokowanie w zaburzeniu zbieractwa

Ogólne rokowanie w zaburzeniu zbieractwa często jest niekorzystne. Mimo że niektórzy pacjenci osiągają znaczną poprawę po terapii poznawczo-behawioralnej, wielu z nich nadal doświadcza objawów wpływających na codzienne funkcjonowanie.6 Chorzy zwykle nadal zmagają się z wyzwaniami przez całe życie, jednak pozostawanie w terapii może zmniejszyć prawdopodobieństwo nawrotu objawów zbieractwa i nagromadzenia przedmiotów.7

Czynniki predykcyjne odpowiedzi na leczenie

Badania wskazują, że konstrukty związane z emocjami, takie jak radzenie sobie ze stresem i motywacja do zmiany, mogą odgrywać istotną rolę w odpowiedzi pacjentów na leczenie zaburzenia zbieractwa i ich uczestnictwie w terapii.8 Wyższe poziomy unikowego radzenia sobie (np. rozpraszanie uwagi połączone z behawioralnym wycofywaniem się) znacząco prognozują poprawę objawów.9 Ponadto, znajdowanie się w fazie podtrzymania zmiany wraz z wysoką gotowością do zmiany również istotnie prognozuje zmniejszenie nasilenia objawów.1011

Interesujące jest, że w przeciwieństwie do niektórych wcześniejszych badań, płeć i inne zmienne demograficzne nie były związane z poprawą objawów ani przerywaniem leczenia.12

Czynniki predykcyjne przerwania leczenia

Uczestnicy, którzy przerywali leczenie, mieli znacząco wyższe wyjściowe poziomy zaprzeczania i nagromadzenia przedmiotów, przy czym oba te czynniki niezależnie prognozowały przerwanie terapii.1314 Odmowa leczenia i problemy z przestrzeganiem zaleceń terapeutycznych pozostają istotnym problemem w terapii zaburzenia zbieractwa.15

Skuteczność metod terapeutycznych

Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna

Badania nad wielokomponentową terapią poznawczo-behawioralną (CBT) wykazały jej skuteczność w leczeniu zaburzenia zbieractwa. Po 12 tygodniach terapii uczestnicy korzystający z CBT odnotowali znacząco większą poprawę w zakresie nasilenia objawów zbieractwa i nastroju w porównaniu z pacjentami na liście oczekujących, z umiarkowaną wielkością efektu.16

Metody CBT zastosowane w badaniach wydają się przynosić korzyści pacjentom z objawami zbieractwa i stanowić udoskonalenie standardowej ekspozycji i powstrzymania reakcji (ERP) stosowanej we wcześniejszych badaniach.17 Jednak konieczne są dalsze badania z udziałem niezależnych oceniających, aby ustalić korzyści z leczenia i trwałość osiąganych efektów.18

Leczenie farmakologiczne

Większość zakrojonych na szeroką skalę badań farmakologicznych wykazała, że objawy zbieractwa prognozują słabe wyniki po leczeniu inhibitorami wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny (SRI). Inne badanie wykazało nieistotne statystycznie tendencje sugerujące, że zbieractwo może prognozować gorsze wyniki leczenia.19

Interwencje chirurgiczne

W przypadku pacjentów z zaburzeniami obsesyjno-kompulsyjnymi (OCD) opornych na leczenie, którzy są rozważani do operacji ablacyjnej układu limbicznego, obecność objawów zbieractwa przed zabiegiem była związana z gorszymi wynikami klinicznymi.20 Pacjenci z objawami zbieractwa wykazywali gorszą odpowiedź na leczenie (średnie zmniejszenie wyniku Y-BOCS o 22,7% ± 25,9% w porównaniu z 41,6% ± 32,2% u pacjentów bez objawów zbieractwa; p = 0,006), bez istotnego wpływu modalności chirurgicznej (kapsulotomia vs cingulotomia).21

Wyniki badań sugerują, że wymiar zbieractwa może być związany ze zmniejszoną skutecznością zabiegów chirurgicznych układu limbicznego i powinien zachęcać do systematycznego badania profili objawów w protokołach interwencji chirurgicznych układu limbicznego, w tym głębokiej stymulacji mózgu (DBS).22 Pacjenci z OCD rozważani do operacji ablacyjnej powinni być dokładnie badani pod kątem objawów zbieractwa lub współwystępującego zaburzenia zbieractwa. W przypadku tych pacjentów potencjalnie zmniejszone korzyści z operacji należy starannie rozważyć w kontekście potencjalnych zagrożeń.23

Nowe podejścia do diagnozy i monitorowania

Najnowsze badania wskazują na potencjał sztucznej inteligencji i uczenia maszynowego (AI/ML) w diagnozowaniu i monitorowaniu zaburzenia zbieractwa. Model uczenia maszynowego wykazał 93% zgodność z diagnozą kliniczną, co sugeruje wysoką dokładność tego podejścia.24

Chociaż AI/ML nie może obecnie zapewnić ostatecznej diagnozy, podejście to może być stosowane w dwuetapowych, zakrojonych na szeroką skalę badaniach epidemiologicznych w celu zmniejszenia czasu i kosztów zbierania danych na temat określonych zaburzeń psychicznych.25 Badania przesiewowe z wykorzystaniem AI/ML poprzedzające formalna ocenę mogą ułatwić szybkie przyjęcie pacjenta i wczesne rozpoczęcie leczenia, skracając czas oczekiwania u pacjentów wysokiego ryzyka, a także monitorowanie wyników terapii i podejmowanie decyzji dotyczących opieki, takich jak wypis i przekazanie opieki.26

Konsekwencje socjalne zaburzenia zbieractwa

Zaburzenie zbieractwa często prowadzi do poważnych konsekwencji społecznych i zdrowotnych. Osoby cierpiące na to zaburzenie często mają ograniczoną przestrzeń życiową, co może uniemożliwiać wykonywanie ważnych codziennych czynności, takich jak gotowanie, sprzątanie, spanie i kąpiel. Mogą one również żyć w niehigienicznych lub niebezpiecznych warunkach. Poważne zbieractwo może prowadzić do zagrożeń pożarowych, zagrożeń związanych z potykaniem się i naruszeń przepisów zdrowotnych.27

Zaburzenie zbieractwa może również powodować problemy w relacjach oraz działaniach społecznych i zawodowych. Często prowadzi do napięć i konfliktów rodzinnych, izolacji i samotności.28 Może wpływać na rozwój społeczny dzieci. Niemożliwe do zamieszkania warunki mogą prowadzić do separacji lub rozwodu, eksmisji, a nawet utraty opieki nad dzieckiem. Osoby, które gromadzą zwierzęta w niebezpiecznych warunkach życiowych, mogą również stanąć w obliczu oskarżenia na podstawie stanowych przepisów dotyczących znęcania się nad zwierzętami.29

Podsumowanie rokowania

Zaburzenie zbieractwa jest schorzeniem trudnym w leczeniu, z często niekorzystnym rokowaniem długoterminowym. Jednakże istnieją czynniki, które mogą pozytywnie wpływać na wyniki terapii, takie jak wysoka motywacja do zmiany i znajdowanie się w fazie podtrzymania zmiany.3031 Istotne jest rozpoznanie czynników ryzyka przerwania leczenia, takich jak wysoki poziom zaprzeczania i nagromadzenia przedmiotów.3233

Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna wydaje się być najbardziej obiecującym podejściem terapeutycznym, jednak pacjenci zazwyczaj nadal doświadczają pewnych wyzwań przez całe życie.3435 Pozostawanie w leczeniu może zmniejszyć prawdopodobieństwo nawrotu objawów i nagromadzenia przedmiotów, co podkreśla znaczenie długoterminowej opieki nad pacjentami z zaburzeniem zbieractwa.36

    Hoarding disorder (HD) is characterized by a compulsion to collect belongings, and to experience significant distress when parting from them. […] HD usually first emerges in late adolescence, takes a chronic, progressive course, and is linked to negative outcomes, such as poor quality of life and a higher-than-normal mortality rate. […] A comorbid mood or anxiety disorder is present in almost two-thirds of those with HD, which adds a significant additional layer of complexity to their situation. […] The existing literature highlights the underdiagnosis of HD due to factors such as lack of public awareness and limited expertise among healthcare professionals. Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for early intervention and improved treatment outcomes. […] Our study prevalence rate of 10% appears to be higher than expert consensus reports of population-based prevalence studies, which generally report rates between 2% and 6%.

  • #6 Hoarding Disorder: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17682-hoarding-disorder
    Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition in which you have a strong need to save a large number of items and experience distress when attempting to get rid of them. Hoarding disorder is treatable with cognitive behavioral therapy. […] The prognosis (outlook) for hoarding disorder is often poor. While some people with the condition greatly improve after treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy, many people still have symptoms after treatment that impact their day-to-day life. […] People with hoarding disorder often have a lack of functional living space, which can prevent them from performing important daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, sleeping and bathing. They may also live in unhealthy or unsafe conditions. Serious hoarding can lead to fire hazards, tripping hazards and health code violations.

    While a number of hoarding disorder-specific therapeutic interventions have been developed over recent years, hoarding disorder (HD) remains difficult to treat. […] The findings from this study suggest that emotion-related constructs, such as managing stress and motivation for change, may play an important role in patients response to and participation in HD treatment. […] Higher levels of avoidant coping (i.e., self-distraction combined with behavioral disengagement) significantly predicted symptom improvement. […] The maintenance stage of change along with high readiness for change also significantly predicted symptom improvement. […] Participants who dropped from treatment had significantly higher baseline levels of denial and clutter, both of which independently predicted treatment attrition.

[…] Based on online questionnaires and texts constructed from questionnaire responses, approximately 10% of general population study participants fulfilled diagnostic criteria for HD. Analysis showed that, in 93% of cases, an HD diagnosis consistent with that of well-trained psychiatrists could be reached using HRS-SR and GAD-7 scores interpreted by machine learning. This strongly suggests that ML can, in the future, play a significant role in the risk assessment of psychiatric disorders prior to face-to-face consultation.
  • #27 Hoarding Disorder: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17682-hoarding-disorder
    Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition in which you have a strong need to save a large number of items and experience distress when attempting to get rid of them. Hoarding disorder is treatable with cognitive behavioral therapy. […] The prognosis (outlook) for hoarding disorder is often poor. While some people with the condition greatly improve after treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy, many people still have symptoms after treatment that impact their day-to-day life. […] People with hoarding disorder often have a lack of functional living space, which can prevent them from performing important daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, sleeping and bathing. They may also live in unhealthy or unsafe conditions. Serious hoarding can lead to fire hazards, tripping hazards and health code violations.

    Hoarding disorder can also cause problems in relationships and social and work activities. It often leads to family strain and conflicts, isolation and loneliness. […] Hoarding can affect the social development of children. Unlivable conditions may lead to separation or divorce, eviction and even loss of child custody. People who hoard animals that are in unsafe living conditions may also face prosecution under state animal cruelty laws.

  • #30 Predictors of treatment outcome and attrition in adults with hoarding disorder
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7362989/
    While a number of hoarding disorder-specific therapeutic interventions have been developed over recent years, hoarding disorder (HD) remains difficult to treat. […] The findings from this study suggest that emotion-related constructs, such as managing stress and motivation for change, may play an important role in patients response to and participation in HD treatment. […] Higher levels of avoidant coping (i.e., self-distraction combined with behavioral disengagement) significantly predicted symptom improvement. […] The maintenance stage of change along with high readiness for change also significantly predicted symptom improvement. […] Participants who dropped from treatment had significantly higher baseline levels of denial and clutter, both of which independently predicted treatment attrition.

    In contrast with Muroff et al.s findings (2014), gender and other demographic variables were not associated with symptom improvement or attrition in our investigation. […] Higher maintenance stage and composite readiness for change scores significantly predicted symptom improvement. […] Higher baseline levels of denial and clutter independently predicted treatment attrition.

    Hoarding disorder can be treated, and there is hope for returning to a normal life. Typically, individuals will continue to face challenges throughout their lives; staying in treatment may decrease chances that hoarding symptoms and clutter will return. […] Hoarding is more common in older age groups than younger age groups. […] The initial start of hoarding symptoms is thought to happen in childhood or adolescence (typical onset is around age 16) and it is chronic and progressive.
  • #35 Waitlist-Controlled Trial of Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Hoarding Disorder
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2922687/
    After 12 weeks, CBT participants benefitted significantly more than WL patients on hoarding severity and mood with moderate effect sizes. […] Multi-component CBT was effective in treating hoarding. However, treatment refusal and compliance remain a concern and further research with independent assessors is needed to establish treatment benefits and durability of gains. […] Most large scale pharmacological studies have found that hoarding symptoms predict poor outcomes following SRI treatment, and another study reported non-significant trends for hoarding to predict worse outcome. […] Findings from retrospective studies of behavioral treatments for OCD patients with hoarding symptoms have followed the trend of hoarding predicting worse outcomes. […] This initial test of CBT for hoarding has several limitations. […] Overall, the CBT methods employed in this study appear to benefit patients with hoarding symptoms and to improve upon standard exposure and response prevention (ERP) applied in previous studies.
