Compulsive Buying Disorder
Compulsive Buying Disorder (CBD) is a behavioral addiction characterized by an uncontrollable urge to shop and spend money, often leading to financial problems and emotional distress. Individuals with CBD may experience feelings of excitement or relief while shopping, but these feelings are typically followed by guilt or regret.
People with CBD often buy items they do not need or cannot afford, and their shopping habits can interfere with daily life, relationships, and responsibilities. Treatment options may include therapy, support groups, and financial counseling to help manage the disorder and develop healthier coping strategies.
