Analysis

Hoarding: Buried Alive is an example of a reality TV rehabilitation program, a category of show that has been extremely popular since 2000. However, the ability of these shows to treat people effectively is often questioned. Some focus on the fact that these shows do get people into some rehabilitation program. It is obviously better than them continuing their addictive behaviors without professional guidance. However, the presence of the cameras can influence the way the patients act. They may exaggerate certain emotions or fail to share essential information for fear of it coming back to haunt them once the show is aired. These additions and omissions could greatly impair their ability to recover and move forward in the process.

In addition to the information regarding the disease being provided in the show, many of these programs help people get in contact with organizations that can provide treatment or more information on the disease. This can help viewers get a better picture of the disorders depicted and combats the stigma that surrounds mental illness.

Hoarding paints a picture of compulsive hoarders that makes viewers sympathize with them. It helps people understand that it is an illness. When these individuals enter a rehab program, the quality of their lives and the lives of their families can improve drastically. It also provides a view of the disease that is not totally bent on feeding the human appetite for horror. Instead, it focuses more on giving an accurate look at the illness. It picks cases that are not overly extreme or graphic and doesn't dwell completely on the disturbing things that the patient has collected. It focuses on conveying the ugly truth about the illness, focusing on the way it affects both the afflicted individual and their family.

Hantavirus exposure

In September 2012, a woman assisting with cleanup was hospitalized after contracting a serious illness during filming for the show in Houston, Texas. Initial tests indicated the woman had contracted hantavirus. The home was quarantined, several others involved in the cleanup were tested for the disease, and books from the house originally donated to the local library were isolated and not distributed. Further testing determined she had hantavirus and passed it on to more than 200 people in the Houston area.
