Compulsive shopping is a real problem
With Christmas less than a week away, the holiday shopping season is nearing its peak. But December is also the high season for compulsive shopping, according to experts who specialize in addiction.
It is thought to be a cross between obsessive compulsive disorder and impulse control disorder. In that range are supposed to be things like gambling, impulsive internet use, kleptomania, binge eating, trichotillomania, which is pulling one’s hair and possibly anorexia.
