Shoping Addiction

How Shopping Can Be Like Other Addictions There are several characteristics that shopping addiction shares with other addictions. As with other addictions: People who over-shop become preoccupied with spending and devote significant time and money to the activity. Actual spending is important to shopping addiction; window shopping does not constitute an addiction, and the addictive pattern is driven by the process of spending money.3 Black, DW. A review of compulsive buying disorder . World Psychiatry. 2007;6(1):14-18. PMID:17342214 Shopping addiction is highly ritualized and follows a typically addictive pattern of thoughts about shopping and planning shopping trips. Shopping is often described as pleasurable, ecstatic, and relieving negative feelings. After shopping, the shopper experiences disappointment, guilt, regret, anger, or shame.
