Shopaholism can be classified as a psychological disorder that manifests itself in the form of uncontrolled spending on things in a store.
It should be noted that this type of addiction was first described in the 19th century – apparently, this phenomenon is still relevant today.
This behavior may lead to problems with money or psychological dissatisfaction with oneself.
Let's see what psychologists think about this.
How to start fighting shopaholism
Psychologists believe that shopaholism can occur due to stress and negative emotions.
Even people with relatively little income can buy things to make them feel successful and self-sufficient.
It turns out that shopaholism has an emotional basis and the first step to combating it is awareness of this habit.
Another factor is the influence of advertising and society, which believes that a large number of things leads to happiness and emotional well-being.
