Shopping Addiction
Shopping Addiction
A condition where repeatedly buying things impulsively — even when they aren't needed — begins to cause serious problems in daily life.
Details
Shopping addiction (compulsive buying) is a state in which a person derives intense pleasure from the act of purchasing itself and finds it very difficult to control. People repeatedly shop to chase the excitement and relief felt at the moment of purchase, but guilt and regret typically follow afterward. It can lead to financial problems, interpersonal conflicts, and lowered self-esteem. Many people use shopping to fill emotional emptiness or relieve stress. Addressing the underlying emotional issues and finding healthier coping strategies are the keys to recovery.
