Compulsive Buying Disorder

Compulsive Buying Disorder, also known as oniomania, is a mental health condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to shop and purchase items, often leading to distress or financial problems. People with this disorder feel driven to buy items they may not need or cannot afford, often to experience temporary relief from negative emotions or stress. Despite negative consequences, they find it difficult to resist the urge, which can impair their daily life and relationships. It is considered a behavioral addiction that requires understanding, support, and sometimes professional treatment.
