Oniomania, often referred to as compulsive shopping or shopping addiction, is a behavioral disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to shop. Individuals with oniomania may experience feelings of excitement and pleasure while shopping, but these feelings can quickly turn into guilt and anxiety afterward. This cycle can lead to significant financial problems and emotional distress. People with oniomania may buy items they do not need or cannot afford, often as a way to cope with stress or negative emotions. Treatment options include therapy, support groups, and strategies to manage spending habits, helping individuals regain control over their shopping behaviors.
