Buried Alive: Inside Diogenes Syndrome

Watch Video
PDF

Living behind closed doors, buried under mountains of possessions and waste, sometimes to the point of no return. This is Diogenes Syndrome: a hidden reality that flies under the radar and remains shrouded in shame. It often slips through the cracks of official statistics, as those suffering from this disorder typically don't reach out for help. Contrary to popular belief, sufferers aren't necessarily elderly. More and more young people are holing up at home, walled in by objects, memories, and packaging accumulated over the years. Hoarding disorder can sometimes be a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Lucienne, Jennifer, and Nicolas have agreed to lift the veil on their living nightmare.
