'Saved steel' is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder that keeps all unused items at home without throwing them away. Regardless of whether they are used or not, they collect things once, and they are anxious if they cannot collect them.
It is known that the number of elderly people is three times higher than that of young people, but in recent years, it has also appeared quite a few among young people due to economic anxiety and lack of social relations. According to the National Health Insurance Service, the number of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, a high-level concept of storage stiffness, increased 42% from 28,187 in 2018 to 40,42 in 2022.
The cause of storage stiffness is dysfunction of the frontal lobe, which causes problems in decision-making ability and action plan establishment. It also appears in dementia and stroke patients.
Storage rigor living in unsanitary environments not only causes disease and fire risks, but also social isolation due to the disconnection of human relationships. It also increases the likelihood of moving to depression or anxiety disorders.
Since 2013, the American Psychiatric Association has classified Compulsive Hoping Syndrome as a mental disease that needs treatment.
Cognitive behavior therapy and drug therapy to stabilize nerves using serotonin reabsorption inhibitors are typical methods of treating storage stiffness. Deep brain stimulation, which inserts human hair-thick electrodes into the brain and regulates brain cell activity through electric current, is also used. However, it is known that there are many cases where continuous improvement is difficult due to the large number of cases of treatment rejection.
