Shopping addiction, pathological buying, or compulsive buying disorder are all mental health conditions characterized by the persistent, excessive, impulsive, and uncontrollable purchase of products despite severe psychological, social, occupational, and financial consequences. Unlike ordinary non-addicted shoppers, who buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social approval/recognition, and improve their self-image, compulsive buyers buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social support/recognition, and improve their self-image. Although the consequences of long-term compulsive buying include feelings of regret/remorse for purchases, shame, guilt, legal and financial problems, and interpersonal difficulties, people with compulsive buying fail to stop buying.
