Below you will find a list of discussions in the Retail 'Therapy' / Shopping Addiction forum at the Live Your Optimal Life to Heal Your Ailments Forum. Retail therapy is shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood. Often seen in people during periods of depression or transition, it is normally a short-lived habit. Retail addiction or shopping addiction should be considered a separate and serious problem. Oniomania (from Greek onios = "for sale," mania = insanity) means the compulsive desire to shop, more commonly referred to as compulsive shopping, compulsive buying, shopping addiction or shopaholism. As with all addictions, shopping becomes the person’s main way of dealing with stress, to the point where they continue to shop excessively, even when it is obviously having a negative impact on other areas of their life. Finances and relationships are damaged, yet the shopping addict feels unable to stop or control their spending.
