When does recreational shopping become a disorder
The article discusses the transformation of recreational shopping into a psychological disorder in individuals with addictive behaviors, where it shifts from a habit that provides comfort and pleasure to a compulsive behavior that's difficult to control. This can lead to accumulating debts and financial crises, along with severe social and psychological effects such as destroying family trust and increasing divorce rates. This type of shopping is known as "compulsive buying" or Oniomania, and it results from the interplay of psychological, social, and technological factors—including companies exploiting psychological needs and the desire to escape negative emotions through advertising and marketing algorithms. Addressing this condition requires a comprehensive psychological assessment and therapy, along with measures to reduce shopping triggers and strategies to counteract shopping addiction. The prevalence of this disorder in Western societies reaches approximately 5-6% of adults and can lead to serious social and economic crises, impacting family life. It is important to distinguish this from occasional impulsive shopping.
