Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Savings Inventory Revised Scale (for participants diagnosed with hoarding disorder)	up to 2 months	The SI-R is a 23-item questionnaire with 3 factor-analytically defined sub-scales for difficulty discarding, excessive clutter, and compulsive acquisition.
Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (for participants diagnosed with OCD)	up to 2 months	Improvement in OCD severity is measured by the YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale), a gold standard measure of obsessions and compulsions. For the YBOCS the minimum units are 0 and Maximum units on the total scale are 40. The higher the number on the YBOCS, the more severe the symptoms. Response is defined as at least a 35% reduction on the YBOCS.
