Explanation:

In psychology, the term compulsive hoarding or hoarding disorder refers to a behavioral pattern where the person acquires large quantities of objects and has an inability to discard them or he/she refuses to do so. Most of the time, this disorder is associated with the Obsessive-compulsive disorder which is a disorder in which a person has an irrational thought that causes distress to the person and the person has to do an action (compulsion) in order to make this stress disappear.

In a hoarding disorder, we can see that the compulsion is the acquisition of things.

In this example, Marie loves magazines and her home has 4,000 magazines dating back to 1975, she obviously suffers from hoarding disorder and as we stated before, this is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
