Answer to yesterday’s quiz: Which one of the following interventions has the strongest evidence base for efficacy in treating a hoarding disorder? A. Cognitive behavioral therapy. B. Dialectical behavior therapy. C. Dopamine antagonists. D. Selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors. The answer is A. Currently, the intervention that has the strongest evidence base for hoarding disorder is a multicomponent psychological treatment that is based on a cognitive behavioral model. Pharmacotherapy — in particular, selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors —has also been suggested as a treatment for hoarding disorder. However, data regarding the use of such treatment are limited and are derived largely from a small, uncontrolled study. Dopamine antagonists and dialectical behavior therapy do not have the strongest evidence base for efficacy in treating a hoarding disorder. nej.md/1qYd3Sz
