Oniomania, also known as compulsive shopping or shopping addiction, is a behavioral disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to shop. Individuals with oniomania often buy items they do not need or cannot afford, leading to financial problems and emotional distress. This condition can be linked to underlying issues such as anxiety or depression. People with oniomania may experience temporary feelings of pleasure or relief when shopping, but these feelings are often followed by guilt or regret. Treatment options include therapy, support groups, and strategies to manage spending habits, helping individuals regain control over their shopping behaviors.
