Hoarding vs. Clutter
There is a big difference between hoarding and clutter. Clutter is an accumulation of items, and can often leave a space to look messy. Having too many clothes, or a seriously large collection of something. Most often, the cluttered items have a purpose (and are being used) or have some sort of monetary or personal value.
Hoarding is different from clutter because it is a mental disorder. The individual is unable to part with any of their items, regardless of the fact they likely have zero value. Hoarding also can seriously affect the individual and bring on other health risks.
