Вы счастливые люди --- у Вас есть кто за Вами убирается . 🙋🎲😷😏
Yes
WE NEED AN UPDATE ON HIM ITS BEEN A YEAR !!
This is one of the saddest ones I’ve seen. They cleared out a little space, but the main house is still a massive hazard & unlivable . This guy clearly needs help and can’t manage living on his own. I hope he ends up getting the help he needs.
I agree, it's one of the saddest ones I've seen yet. 😪
This is why mental health and support services need to be improved. With the right support, this guy can live safely on his own, but intil he can get support, he's just left wallowing in everything, even with his cleaned out rooms.
Lies again? Trash Garbage Rubbish
Rick needs long term care. He is clearly not well. I hope he gets better
He’s one I’d like to have an update on.
So true, though we don’t really have such a thing in US. If his county has a program for adult services that would put him in housing it may work.
You cant force someone into care just cause n he wouldnt want to lose his freedom
I thought the show was over exaggerated but after working with a elderly hoarder myself.....they really do get mad and hold on to the most insignificant trash. It is exhausting
I have witnessed it on a professional level, during a cleanup we found a large coffee urn that held about five gallons, it had a hole busted in the side like it got knocked off a table, we asked if we could throw it away .. Answer was "NO, do you know how much that cost".
@@billytaylor6604 That reminds me if a gentleman on this show who owned a lot of land and had all sorts of scrap on his property. When they started with the easiest stuff, a bucket with holes in it, he, rightfully, pointed out, “You can use buckets for things other than water…that is still useable, I’m keeping it.”
I couldn’t argue the logic of this, but the next question is, how many buckets of that sort does one person need?
I live with a hoarder. It can be infuriating.
But I taught myself to just shrug and accept that adults make their own life choices.
It's their life, or lack of it. Let them do what they want.
Insignificant to you perhaps, and although it may be exhausting think how it feels to them. People who hoard most often than not have a fear of loss of control in their life. It’s a mental illness that needs to be addressed before any progress can be made. They become attached to possessions not matter the value. Telling someone that you don’t agree with the value they hold in a object and how unsafe something may be is not the answer and will always yield the same result, which is to get defensive and most often aggressive.
@@i_am_aladeen being an adult is NOT a matter of your age. There are so many people that never mature into adults, they are mentally children even in old age
In the end, he's excited about his new cleared room to live in -- ONLY because it represents new-found space to do some more collecting.
Probably true, as the longer term mental health support usually isn't provided for, and he's definitely not in a place to cope.
He really needs professional help. Issues run deeper than the hoarding. Hopefully he can get the help he needs!
Absolutely agree
Maybe he shouldn't live alone
Usually the hoarding is a symptom of a much larger issue, triggered by a major event in their lives. They do provide aftercare, how much and how long they don't say.
They usually appoint a payee for their SSI and place them in an adult foster care home. You can't hoard when you have no personal space whatsoever and no access to money to buy stuff.
@@christinebutler7630 This is wrong. There have been episodes where absolutely poor people have hoarded other people's home. Garbage is free on every street corner.
I think breathing in all that mold has done something
One and a half minutes into this and you can tell this guy really needs to be institutionalized. For his own safety.
Yes
Usually, I would not agree. I'm not sure if an institution is required, but he definitely needs to be out of there, and probably put on some meds, along with compulsory psychiatric help. That house is not safe, and he really needs someone to look out for him. If he made some progress after being removed from that situation, great. If not, and his mental state did not improve to the point where he could look after himself better, I would have to agree. At least in a sheltered accommodation complex. Being institutionalised is not always the long term answer. Sometimes living in a supported place for six months or so is enough. Institutions are not a happy place to be, and you are surrounded by people with much more severe behaviour. That can be so traumatic that suicide happens, or the person just gives up. Hardened criminals have said they prefer jail to permanent institutionalization, that's how bad it can be. I'm not sure if you've ever been in one, or had any real life experience in the mental health services area, but putting someone in an institution long term should be the last option considered, unless there is ongoing severe danger to themselves or others.
and the safety of others because huge fire hazard
Ain't even take me a minute lol 👌🏾
Institutionalized? Wtf that's like the worst thing you can do to someone. How about just get him a good doctor and get him the medication he needs. I think that would do this guy a lot... not lock him up just because they don't like the way he lives. And yes mental Institutions are pretty much like jail sometimes even worse.. I'm glad you're not in charge of making calls like that and that's why people have to go to school for years to be able to make the right calls and evalutions.
"No trespassing " LMFAO trust me nobody wants to be there 😂😂
You'd think that, but they've found bums hiding in hoarders basements before.
@@angiecarle3041 this guy lives in the detroit metro though, there should be plenty of abandoned houses around
Ricky should not live alone. He needs to live with a relative or a facility with others.
In my opinion it would have to be a facility.
An asylum, you mean
He is totally nuts.
I agree but if he was my brother I wouldn't want him to live with me if he throws knives when he's mad! I think some kind of a facility would be better. But even there there would be rules he'd have to follow and I wonder if he's capable of that.
He has the right of choice . Same as you do
This guy would destroy the lives of any relative he lived with. In a facility, he would be the kind of patient that nightmares are made of!!!
The brother needs to STOP PAYING THE FINES. And he needs to stop cleaning up the yard. Enabling a family member to continue making bad choices is not love. I've been through this song-and-dance with a couple of family members and it only makes things worse in the long run.
A-men. Shielding him from the consequences has not had the desired effect. However, I feel the brother’s desire to find some way to help a clearly ill family member…
Agree, but he probably knows his brother will end up in jail and things will get worse for him, and I'm sure the thought is unbearable so he chooses to enable him. Enabling isn't helping, but I understand why his brother is doing it.
A wise man once said: You don't reward bad behavior."
Can someone explain why they left him in a house that might collapse at any moment instead of calling adult protective services?
Exactly! They have called on people for less!
I know, these people are sicker than he is, like great now we can leave at the end of the day and go home to our mansions knowing he’s got that room. Gross.
@Nathalie F yeah! They call them on this show if the house can’t get cleaned enough but they didn’t here. Weirf
He would be safer a street person. Horrible to say… but, would the city not be required to tear his house down anyway?
I’m confused on this show except to blame the show for trying to keep it’s ratings.
He threw knives for heaven sakes.
@@dian621 that house should have been condemned. there is no reason they allowed him to stay in a house with that amount of dangerous structural damage
He's only going to fill that room back up again with garbage.
Of course! And very fast!
That's true unless he gets the kind of help he needs. Clean House was much more humane.
@@zonagale2200 Clean House didn't address hoarders.
I really wish the makeup dept would get that lovely lady the right colour foundation
Agree! She has such lovely coloring. I’ve not noticed it before so perhaps it’s just a matter of lighting.
I think her lip stick might be too pinky purple. But I loveeeee her!! She’s my fav. And Dorothy.
@@edmonddantes367
I like her, too! But they had her makeup some odd yellowish tone just down to her neck and her neck is a pretty pinky peachy tone. You can see it clearest when she arrives at the house to go in but he surprises her by coming out at first and it looks like Ricky might not let her in. There’s a bit of monologue recorded later and that’s where it showed.
Edited for clarity
@@Lucinda_Jackson girl totally agree. I’m a makeup artist. And it drives me crazy! She is so pretty. I just wish her makeup was more natural. Like just enhance her natural beauty. She’s awesome and beautiful. I just love her approach when dealing with people with mental issues.
@@edmonddantes367
Yes!!!!
Understatement of the day, “I’ve got some problems in my life.”
The house is still not safe with the structural damage shown. "Hi, I am Dr. XYZ, and your brother who has been on your back for years to clean up your house, is here as my back-up". Ricky hears "we two are on the same side and aligned against you". Bad start. No one is going to turn on the electricity in that house - or gas - it is falling down for Pete's sake.
Exactly
Dr. XYZ 😂😂 But yeah that’s exactly what I thought too. So dumb to bring the brother with as “back up” not a good start at alllllll
@@twilightskiesx She brought him with her in case Ricky turned violent. He was essentially a bodyguard for her. He's tall, broad, and imposing, like many bouncers. He could protect her in the event that Ricky became aggressive or violent with her.
I thought the same thing. The term "back up" I think had a negative effect. I know what she meant, but it came off awkward and didn't start things off well.
I know right and the way she tried to smile and make it all nicey nicey was ridiculous because Rick was having none of it he was just rolling his eyes at her. 😂😂😂
I'm amazed they still let him live in that house, that house needs to be condemned..
All that mold is very dangerous, both to your airways, but it can also be dangerous for your brain!😰
It's whether it's fire, water, structural collapse, or disease.
Its detroit though, they have a lof of buildings like this
There was a grand wedding and everyone lived here. The house reflects that all the good is gone, people are gone and reality hurts too much. The future existance is bleak so, disassociate and hide in books.
LOL! "Do you want the avocado or the orange?"
Man, that was such a sibling moment. You could see the trigger getting pulled in that one interaction 😂😅
That’s heartbreaking to watch. Complete respect to everyone involved. They did their best.
It scary to see a hoarder light up a cigarette surrounded by their hoard.
Every time I watch one of these shows I end up scratching all over. I also end up deep cleaning…and throwing out tons of stuff..my husband loves it
Same..I also watch 600 lb life while I do my daily workout!
I do the very same thing, with the deep cleaning. I already throw away things on a regular basis, so I really don't have anything to throw out, but you can guarantee I will find things to get rid of even if I have to look very hard for it. And the cleaning will go on for days & I only live in a 2 bedroom apartment by myself, so I am basically cleaning something that is already clean. I can't stand filth & I'm a neat freak, plus I organize everything so this show sends me into overdrive with cleaning & organizing. But I would rather be like I am than live like the hoarders do.
Me too 😆
Can I borrow your condition....minus the scratching?😀
@@Ujuani68 absolutely! Just started the storage room. Donated a bunch of comforters to one of the emergency animal clinics, they use them for the kennels there. Not only getting rid of stuff but sending it to those who can really use it.
As a lover of books I love collecting books and reading them, but it hurts to see the condition of some the books in that house. Some are just rotting away
Collecting books can be a great thing to do, but if they're stored the way these were, this sort of thing can happen. He probably started out fairly innocently collecting books, before something changed in his life to lead to it getting worse and them ending up in this condition.
4:34 See the way that doll's head is just randomly stuck onto that plank of wood... 😮
actually it holds an electrical cable... every piece of trash has its own purpose in hoarders perspective of view, my father is one of them, I silently trash 10 big bags every day from 1000sq basement... will take months but will make it to the end.
@@noobblet1996 has he figured out you're doing that?
I enjoy watching this series as they help guide me in solving my own hoarding problem.
@Cryptameria• thanks for your encouragement. I never expected to build up such a huge hoard after a few years of getting into the habit of holding on to old things. And soon objects began filling up my rooms, hall, kitchen and yard. Till today, none of my family and friends know of my hoarding except my wife who lives with me. Throwing away items for the first time was the most difficult and after a series of intense struggle, I've gotten rid of about 80% of the hoard. The remaining stuffs are now kept in an unused room and every now and then, I will inspect them and throw away anything that I can't see any potential use for anymore. It is said that only another hoarder can understand the emotional turmoil experienced by another hoarder.
Ich glaube, man kann besser loslassen, wenn man es spendet und weiß, dass es andere dringend brauchen können
I understand! I am proud to say I love my room now because I planned my new room and got a loft bed in my room(small room) and I now have a couch under my bed and lots and lots of new shelfs and I can lay on my floor and stretch my legs!! My dolls have new shelfs so they are organised and I am working on clearing my DVD shelf and I have a mini cinema under my bed because of a new projector and my room just feels and looks soo much better and I couldn't sit in my room comfortably or do anything because there was so much stuff! I actually wrapped presents in my new room for the first time in years ! 😁😁😁
@@brandenburg2388 That's incredible! Keep fighting the good fight and taking care of yourself 💕
Best of luck mate! You can get through this, you’ve already realised you have a problem and that’s already a major step towards recovery.
I believe in you :)
I would love to see an update on this gentleman. I know he needs continued support physically and mentally to get better. This man needs a few episodes on hoarders , and maybe that would help pay for the continued support.
I felt it was hopeless...until the last few minutes where it sinks in that he loves his little clean space. It seemed to connect with him. Like he remembered and desired normalcy again. With time and help...he might have a shot.
This man is beyond being a hoarder. He needs psychiatric help.
I doubt he needs more drugs?
He’s so fortunate to have brothers that wanted to help him.
That poor guy needed help a long time ago.
He's 60 years old and he's been living in that house his entire life. Making a change at that age is impossible.
"I myself have been to the other side of the planet and into the stars right, to the center of the stars. You can learn all this from books and I do."
I just love it.
What a beautiful room the team made for him. All book lovers like to see their books. He looked so happy with the results. I hope that he took the help that the teams offered. He clearly needs it.
This was probably the saddest episode I have ever seen
He is far deeper than any of the others I know of so far. He means no harm and you could tell he was INCREDIBLY grateful and happy at the end, but they were pushing the trauma buttons
He was far too overstimulated:(
This lady is truly amazing 💜. She’s so caring and compassionate to everyone she helps.
Unlike most girls
@@coopermuccio4409 ??????
You can tell how much he likes the clean room that he doesn’t want to be this way. The poor thing can’t help it. It’s so sad.
"think of the fireman" that's pertinent.
That house needs to be torn down. How it's still standing is beyond me.
He's already done half of the job of tearing down the house anyway.
Once they get pictures of the living conditions the brother should have no problem getting care services for his brother. He might try to get him declared incompetent so he can take over his affairs and get him some place safe. Because I am afraid this is going to happen again as soon as the other brother leaves
‘Square Foot Gardening’ is a good book.
There was a show on PBS back in the 80s and 90s, too
"He might be the smartest man in the world!"
*props up a space heater against a bunch of papers to heat up a can of spaghetti*
Oh my goodness, I think Ricky's house is the worst hoarder's house I've ever seen. My anxiety escalated so quickly seeing those messy, mouldy, rooms. I hope things will get better for him. He deserves to be happy 💜
Just keep watching Hoarders. There are far worse places than Ricky's. And that's so sad to say. So sad
Shanna's house: 👁👄👁
@@kimberlypoole5325 I can only think of two that were actually worse than that: Shanna, and that couple that had the water coming up from the toilet and soaking the carpets... Every other that was terribly worse had the person get evicted (like that Chinese woman who had rooms so full she crawled to reach the living room).
I could tell almost immediately he is completely out of his mind.
Wish they had the part on the end letting us know if he had any improvement after they left
I was thinking that too. I wonder if he even accepted any aftercare.
Same here. Also, listening to him cough makes me glad I quit smoking a year and a half ago.
@@Red-rl1xx
Partly smoker’s cough and partly all the dirt, dust and mold he inhales constantly. His poor lungs!
@@Red-rl1xx Congrats on quitting! It took me so many tries, so I understand the struggle.
@@Red-rl1xx good for you 👏🙌I wish my daughter would stop.
If he steals books as well as hoarding them he may have bibliomania. There's also obviously some other mental health issue like untreated bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. My uncle has schizophrenia and he reminds me of the way my uncle was at certain bad points in his life.
I was thinking Ricky displayed BIpolar disorder & or schizophrenia. I lived with a lady that is bipolar with delusional tendencies & Ricky reminded me of her & how she acted & the things she did. I had to get away from her when some of the things she did left me feeling like my safety & my life were in jeopardy if I stayed with her or even maintained a friendship with her. So I cut her from my life for my own well being. Ricky reminded me of her
He has a safe place to be after they cleaned a room in a house that will be demolished because of its condition? Are they nuts? An institution would be a safe place for that man, where he would get care and therapy. I cannot understand why families do not understand that these type of hoarders lost their mental capacity and they need a daily care.
God Bless those patient and hard working people
Be strong Ricky. You deserve to be happy.
This man is a danger to himself. He’s also negatively impacting his neighbor’s property. Would you want to live next door to that?
It's really a waste of time to ask a hoarder "What do you want to do with this?" for being respectful of his or her rights and wishes, because the answer is always just one word"Keep!".
Mental illness at a level far beyond this show's capability. The house beyond repair as well. Tear it down to the ground and cart the debris away to a landfill.
I kind of feel like a dome needs to be lowered over the top of it and lots of fire to destroy all the pathogens that are doubtless thriving in there
As a former meth addict I gotta say he is 100% a meth head. Hyper focused on reading books, or not sleeping and staying up all night cleaning 1 area only making it worse, extremely easily aggravated. Definitely all signs of meth abuse. Hopefully he's gotten some help, I know I ddnt quit until hitting rock bottom and getting counseling/ treatment
How can differentiate between drug use and mental illness without testing? Any other clues you are seeing?
these are also symptoms of mania (BPD, schizophrenia and others)
Not necessarily. These are common symptoms for people with various mental conditions too. Correlation isn't causation.
No… a meth head would not have the wherewithal to keep up with all those books all those years. He has manic depression and maybe even schizophrenia.
And I see sadness and an emptiness he feels that he thinks only things can fill.
He was so used to living like that I don't even think he realized he could have a nice clean space like the room he was left with. When he saw it he looked overcome with joy but he fought so hard to keep them from cleaning it.
The house is ready to collapse-a wonder the town hasn't condemned it.
Safe place to live?! In that structurally deficient house? He should have been removed by Dept. of Human Services due to being a danger to himself and others. Zasio failed at her job to report the situation.
Each State has different codes and laws. Also, DHS is a Federal agency...
@@Armistead_MacSkye DHS (Dept of Human Services) is a state agency. Department of Homeland Security is federal. I'm a Paramedic of 27 years. Department of Human Services (APS) Adult Protective services generally share the policies of all states safety and care of the adult population. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. No need for uncorrecting me.
The real crime is that it's nearly impossible to commit folks like Rick, and get them the help they need.
Yet, Britney Spears is kept prisoner 13 years...
I have worked with the houseless population in microhome communities and the "they are sold in stores" excuse is often used for having candles and heat lamps. It's a huge disconnect. It doesn't help. He will end up street bound. It sucks but our system isn't built to help these people long term.
Another example of the difficulty in getting appropriate mental health support for an adult family member: the bottom line - you cannot force an adult to accept mental health services (and there’s little to no advocacy support to try and get them to see / understand the benefits).
It’s an incredibly helpless feeling - especially when you want so much for the family member to get the help that he / she needs.
I like how Rick tells us his name like he’s trying to convince us
😄😄😄 I went back to the beginning. You're right!
I love Dr. Zasio!!!! And Corey!! They're both awesome!!
It was kind of the crew to set up the "safe option" room for the gentleman. I love the design of the room - I have gained some decorating ideas. I would consider having the book shelving like the one featured.
This poor guy....he needs proper help and clearly can't live on his own. Bless him....seeing him cry over that little room they did up for him. 💜 I'd love an update on him.
Sadly, this poor man is gonna end up dying in that home.😔
I was really concerned for Ricky. He needs to be out of there, maybe staying with someone else, a family member if possible. Basically that house is a tragedy waiting to happen. Ricky needs some serious help, intensive psychiatric support, and possibly medication to help get his compulsions under control. You can tell he is suffering.
What family wants to have this nightmare brought into Thier own house?
Hes already been on drugs dude
I’m genuinely digging that neon yellow collared shirt with sweater look.
Crazy that this man lives a neighborhood over. I see him ride his bike everyday.
His problems go beyond hoarding. He needs to be institutionalized.
He needs to be hospitalized.
He's lucky that the crew is such good people.
His words seriously convinced me that he was not interested in any help.
And the moment he threw the knife, I would've turned around and left. Right there on the spot.
That's one good brother and Ricky needs to thank God he has him
Wasting his time help only works if you want it
This man needs a three day evaluation in the phyco. Ward. He's dangerous. No filters in his anger. Police can declare him for 3 days
You've never heard the saying 'hurt people, hurt people' ?
This is what Netflix's Rick from Rick & Morty would look like
I think that's a totally accurate observation!
netflix’s?
@@meowthlova111 yes the company
@@mathieuleader8601 Rick and Morty is an Adult Swim property. And no, this guy is nothing like Rick.
@@VeganJustToAnnoyYou yeah
I have watched two of these shows back to back. I cannot watch anymore. It is so depressing. Sigh!
Whenever I don't feel like cleaning I watch an episode of this show and it makes me want to clean 😂😂
It’s crazy what you all have to go through to help these people, It takes good people to do what yous do
I’m surprised the clinical psychologist who specialises in hoarding... just went straight in for the kill. He seems depressed, anxious, troubled. This program needs to be more specialised from case by case, he needs long term counselling and help, yes. It’s hard for his brother and family who obviously cares a lot about him, but you can’t just walk into a build up of what he sees as his life and expect him to just say “yeah okay! Thanks” in three days. We’re talking about years and years of issues and hoarding. Seriously. This one is one of the saddest and most inconsiderate clean ups I’ve seen. i really hope they don’t just leave him like this. I hope his family get him the help he needs and PROVIDE him with the company he needs.
This was only 10 mins of the episode so I'm sure way more was shown in the full episode...might shed more light on what actually did happen.
Best episode ever 🙂 I really hope this guy also gets a ton of after care. Must have been totally insane for him.
Maybe I’m not compassionate enough, but this is one of those episodes where you need to just take him away to an institution and level/burn it down. Force his separation from possessions and tell him after the fact, “oh by the way it’s all gone. Have a good day”.
His house looks like a serial killer's house with that plastic around it.
😂😂
Agree...
As my grandmother is a hoarder, a hoarder in denial, I’ve seen firsthand when a hoarder gets mad and throws a fit and a tantrum for throwing away stuff that’s no good.
"And I think I am... (stare intensifies) a magnet for books."
Next week, at Arkham Asylum.
Rick: "I'm Rick. I've got some problems in life"
Some problems???? Looks like you've tons and tons of problems in life.
he didn't throw the knife at anybody, he was just showing off his skills, what a bs title
What happened to his previous family….🥺🥺🥺.
Sending Ricky love and commending REAL life walking heroes that helped! True giving is not what we get back, these folks are amazing.
His brother is an enabler.
Cory and Dr. Z are a great team.
He's clearly gone in the head, he's simply beyond saving, just let him be
He lives in other Galaxy 😮
I cringe when I see people go into the hoarder’s home wearing short sleeves. How?? I’d be in full hazmat.
That house needs to be condemned. It's not structurally safe. Why didn't they get him out of there? They've done it before. I know I've seen episodes where they had to do that.
I'm surprised they didn't call for an inspection or at least a private engineer to determine if that place was safe to live in. Nobody seemed worried so maybe that did that and it's not shown in this edited video.
@@fdm2155 it's a 10min clip of a yearsss long problem..
@4:35 The baby doll head mounted on the wall is horror-movie inspiring, how is he ok with his house being like this
Get this man a Kindle.
He’ll learn when he has no home to hoard.
I'm just amazed they found the knives in that mess
Books are beautifully awesome and precious. If you aren’t respecting them, they need to go.
So true, so true.
The library is filled with books that we can check out to read & then return. Cutting out the need to buy & store them anywhere in our homes. Thus not creating a book hoard like Ricky had & so many others I've seen on Hoarders.
His brother should've called in a city inspector and had the dump condemned and burned to the ground
What a compassionate solution 🤪🤨
DSM III on the bookshelf...
I'll take a guess that Ricky also needs some depression, anxiety and bipolar medication.
These people need to be institutionalized and years of therapy because they're clearly a hazard to themselves and others.
The book piles might be the only thing holding that roof in the air😳
That house needs pulling down and condemned. He seriously needs psychiatric help… and I’m sure he will fill up the cleared space as soon as the crew leave. Sad
Man this is bipolar or schizophrenia… This is way beyond a cleaning job
I’m very surprised that with that much structural damage to that house that it wasn’t condemned. I’m also surprised that that Doctor didn’t call APS ~> THE MAN WOULDN’T THROW AWAY MOULDY ORGANIC MATTER!! And I say “matter” because you couldn’t tell what it was, for a minute I thought it might have been animal (or human) excrement. If this man isn’t a candidate for assisted living I don’t know who is. This one pulled at my heart strings a little, I hope he’s ok.
I really feel for this man. He is clearly unwell and he's lucky to still be alive, as i think he is existing in his own coffin, i wouldn't use that structure as a shed
