Compulsive buying is a behavioral disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to shop and purchase items, often leading to financial difficulties and emotional distress. Individuals may buy items they do not need or cannot afford, driven by feelings of excitement or a temporary sense of relief. This condition can be linked to underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Treatment options may include therapy, support groups, and financial counseling to help individuals manage their impulses and develop healthier coping strategies.
