Hoarding is more preferable as the symptoms and behavior of the individual (difficulty in discarding possessions despite their actual value) affect material well being of the patient and the family. In contrast, Trichotillomania causes physical harm and distress (hair pulling and subsequent hair loss) resulting in distress for the person, and thus interfering with social and occupational functioning.
