Sock Hoarding Disorder (SHD) Treatment Plan

**Symptoms:**

• Uncontrollable urge to collect and store socks in a hoard-like state.
• Difficulty letting go of socks, even if they're missing their match.
• Compulsive need to organize socks by color, material, and fiber content.

**Diagnosis:**

• Diagnose SHD using the Sock Inventory System (SIS) scoring system.
• Consult with a licensed therapist or SHD specialist for further evaluation.

**Treatment Plan:**

1. Set aside dedicated sock storage space in the home.
2. Implement a color-coding system for easy sorting and categorization.
3. Gradually introduce sock-pairing exercises to retrain the brain.

**Support Groups:**

• Sock Anonymous (SA) support meetings for SHD sufferers.
