 ______________________________

Hoarding is a behavior where people accumulate items or things in their place obsessively, including things that would commonly be thrown away. Hoarding is a mental illness classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). People with hoarding disorders always suffer difficulties in their daily life due to their mental conditions. This article aims to identify the level of mental health that leads to hoarding behavior among working women. A total of 150 respondents were selected to participate in the study. A survey form, consisting three different instruments namely General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12), Hoarding Rating Scale (HRS) and Mental Health Inventory (MHI) was distributed to the respondents. The results showed that the majority of the respondents had a low level of hoarding behavior (83.3%), while 16 percent reported a moderate hoarding behavior and only one respondent reported a high level of hoarding behavior. In terms of mental health status, the majority of respondents had a moderate mental health, while 12 percents had a high level of mental health. There is a statistically significant relationship between hoarding behavior and mental health level. This study shows that there is a tendency for respondents to suffer mental problems due to hoarding behavior. Hoarding behavior is something that needs to be controlled by working women if they want to achieve a better mental health status. Hoarding behavior has negative consequences because it can have a huge impact on a person’s ability to function productively.
