    What sort of medications do hoarders generally take to treat their mental health issue?
    google suggests SSRIs. I wonder how effective that is for them?

    i'm not sure what exactly causes it. like if it's a branch of some other disorder?

    i'm completely bullshitting but it seems like a function of anxiety and obsessive thoughts in a lot of cases when i hear people talk about it and how people act

    I can guess a few reasons to this. From Boston giving a sloppy blow job for probably their largest or one of their largest conventions a year when in DC it would be kind of normal. I was at an HIV conference that broke 100k here a few years back.

    Also Mike and Jerry being old nerds where change is not our strong suit.

    well, also ultimately there needs to be a reason to change, too

    East sells out in minutes and now has a healthy base of local Enforcers

    no reason to strangle the golden goose

    Comes down to growth verse stability.

    Moving to DC might change a years sell out but you can also sell more tickets than you can at Boston. Timing though I can see being difficult because late march/early april is cherry blossom season and the city does get tourist.

    At the same time when it comes to infrastructure outside of probably LA and NYC there are few places in the US as good at handling insane crowds as DC.

    Top it off the location of the DC center is kind of in a weird area with a lot of tech hqs for news outlets.

    i'm glad hoarding is a mental disease now

    i remember the first and i think only episode of Hoarders I watched a woman had all these rotten pumpkins. and they were like ok can we throw these out? and the mom goes no no no no the seeds are still good! and she is digging out the seeds

    i think pumpkin seeds cost maybe 50 cents for a bag. plus she didn't even have a garden.

    Let's be honest here; the disease is capitalism

    You joke, but one of the most upsetting features of some mental illnesses is that they're by nature resistant to treatment.

    Ain't nobody want to take anti-psychotics because who the fuck wants less dopamine?

    that's why it's a mental illness, bowen. it isn't rational.

    you can't talk a schizophrenic out of seeing and hearing things either

    I know it.

    I just still can't figure out how they get from A to B even irrationally.

    It's... there's not even a step to get there.

    Maybe,

    I'm not sure PA is interested (primarily) in selling more tickets per event.

    I only went to East once but I didn't think it was particularly bad at handling the crowds. The biggest problem with East is a lack walking-distance hotels but they're building more. And they're expanding the BCEC.

    hoarding involves poop
    However, IF the stars aligned and the story was too good AND we knew from the outset that there was a situation, we would move forward. One time there were twin sisters in their 50s/60s and they were using their tub to shit in. And they would occasionally scoop it to make room for more. We showed it in the episode but we had to limit the screen time.
