Today, I decided to write a few lines about compulsory purchases. I think that for some people it is a real disorder that is difficult to deal with, especially when you are on a budget. I'm even sure some people are facing debt distress because of it. I don't know if this disorder can be cured by the help of a psychological therapy. In any case, I wish good luck to everyone that suffers from it.
I already saw a TV show, where genealogists were going to some dead people's houses to find any information about a potential heir. Some houses were full of objects and it was impossible to glimpse a tile on the floor. These people had piled a huge variety of things up during many years. They didn't even take out the trashes anymore. I can't imagine the malodorous smell in the whole house! It was a sad report. All these lonely souls were probably overwhelmed by depression or deep personal issues. This other disorder has a name that I have forgotten.
Do I suffer from compulsory purchases disorder? Actually, no. But, I would say that, when I'm feeling down, I will tend to buy more useless goods. I try to follow a habit about buying stuff. If I see something I like, I try to not buy it impulsively and ask myself some useful questions. Let’s say I think twice! Do I really need it right now? Where will I store it? Will I use it? Will I think about this item in one month? Generally, I wait before buying something, and tell myself, if you still think about it many times in the week, that is maybe because it is a real need or you really want it as a decoration in your house. For a decade now I have self-treated myself about compulsory clothes buying. I was mostly not wearing half of them and the quality wasn't worth it. I guess the second hand market can be a lure. It is a good initial idea, but we often tend to buy more and more because it is cheaper. So it is not really a way to less consuming at the end. Plus, the fast fashion clothes are in a bad condition after wearing them, let's say four times. If you want to sell those items, in a good condition, you have to wear them once and publish them on your profile to sell. Most of the time, the problem is not the tool, it's what you are doing with it though.
It's soon the Black Friday and many people are thrilled by this event. This massive bargain doesn't existed in France some years ago. It has been imported from the United-States. I have nothing against it personally. What I don't like it's when the shop misleads you. They add a reduced price on a new label, that is glued on the old one which have the same... price!
By nature, I always have been a kind of minimalist, but I don’t want fall down in a sectarian mindset. I guess all needs to be balanced in life and it’s hard to never buy something useless once in your life. And it’s not necessary to feel guilty about it. After all we grow up in a consumer society so it’s totally normal we tend to always be tempt by some new items.

I think that for some people it is a real disorder that is difficult to deal with, especially when youthey are on a budget.
The pronoun refers to "some people," so you should use the third person
I'm even sure some people are even facing debt distress because of it.
This is technically a slightly different sense than what you wrote, but it sounds more native-like (and I am guessing it is what you may have intended)
I don't know if this disorder can be cured by the help of a psychological therapy.
In any case, I wish good luckthe best to everyone that suffers from it.
What you wrote is not incorrect, but this sounds a little more native-like.
I already saw a TV show, where genealogists were going to some dead people's' houses to find any information about a potential heirs.
Some houses were full of objects and it was impossible to even glimpse a tile on the floor.
We usually use the word "even" when we say that we "cannot glimpse" something in English; here, it connotes the sense of "there was so much stuff on the ground, that *even glimpsing* [that is, *even seeing the tiniest amount of*] tile was impossible".
These people had piled a huge variety of things up duringover many years.
They didn't even take out the trashes anymore.
"trash" is always singular in English.
I can't imagine the malodorouspungent smell in the whole house!
"malodorous" is indeed a word in English, but it is not nearly as common as "maloderant" in French. "Pungent" (which basically just means "strong") is more appropriate here.
It was a sad report.
All these lonely souls were probably overwhelmed by depression or deep personal issues.
This other disorder has a name that I have forgotten.
Do I suffer from compulsoryive purchasesing disorder?
I'm not 100% confident about this correction, but I am sure that the grammar of the original sentence is not correct.
Actually, no.
This is grammatically correct as written, but the "flow" of this sentence with the rest of the document is a bit awkward. I think other good options might have been either just "No." or "In my opinion, no."

Great work! I agree that it's important to be mindful of our purchase to avoid overconsumption.

Today, I decided to write a few lines about compulsoryive purchases.
Compulsory = required; compulsive = impulsively, on a whim
I think that for some people it is a real disorder that is difficult to deal with, especially when youthey are on a budget.
The original would sound fine to a lot of native speakers, but this is more correct.
I'm even sure some people are facing debt distress because of it.
If you want to emphasize how difficult the situation, you could say "enormous debts," "mounting debts," etc.
I don't know if this disorder can be cured by the help of a psychological therapy.
In any case, I wish good luck to everyone thatwho suffers from it.
Use "who" or "whom" (depending on the situation) when referring to people.
I already saw a TV show, where genealogists were going to some dead people's houses to find any information about a potential heirs.
"Any" has a sort of negative sense to it, so it isn't quite appropriate here.
Some houses were full of objects, and it was impossible to (even) glimpse a tile on the floor.
The original is fine, but adding "even" for emphasis could be a good idea.
These people had piled a huge variety of things up duringover many years.
They didn't even take out the trashes anymore.

When negating, "do" is the verb that will be in the past tense.
It has been imported from the United- States.
No hyphen in English.

More idiomatic.
