So your clothes are kept in the basket or splayed on your bed for a little bit too long. According to Jeff Rice, an ADHD coach and author, the cluttered floordrobe could be a symptom of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, one expert said we should not jump to conclusion.
In a social media video, Jeff Rice explains that a floordrobe is a place, typically on the floor, where people leave either clean or not quite dirty clothes. The garments may sit in a basket or in a pile on a chair or the floor for days to weeks, whether they're freshly laundered or have the potential to be worn a second time.
Rice said, "To some people, the chore of putting away clothing isn't interesting, urgent or challenging. So they put it off until it becomes urgent when all the laundry baskets are full of their clothes, but now they need the baskets to do laundry." In the video, Rice indicated the dreaded floordrobe could be a symptom of ADHD in some people.
On the other hand, Alma Spaniardi, a psychiatrist at Cornell Medical Center, said that having an ongoing clothes pile could indeed be a sign, but not necessarily. She said people with ADHD could certainly have a floordrobe since having difficulty following through with multi-step tasks, failing to finish chores or avoiding tasks that require effort fall under the inattentive symptoms of ADHD. Those with ADHD "may also lose belongings frequently, make careless mistakes and have difficulty being organized or focused. They may seem like they aren't listening when spoken to, like they have their head in the clouds, but they focus more easily on activities that are interesting to them," she explained. However, Spaniardi warns that laundry clutter isn't necessarily diagnostic of ADHD. She said there could be many other causes for this phenomenon, including avoidance of the task due to anxiety or just being very busy for a period of time causing them to put off doing chores. She urged people to seek out a professional and to avoid a self-diagnosis based on one habit or a social media video alone. "While the information might be valid, mental health diagnosis is more complicated than just the identification of one symptom alone."
