Shopping addiction is a really scary addiction that can leave victims broke and helpless.
Yeah I know that shopping addiction is often described as a deficiency of impulse control
Do you think you can control your impulses? Such as just buying less at a time.
I think I can control my impulses more or less but I think everyone has a bit of an addictive personality. We all have those personality traits that lead to addictions just some more that others.
Do you consider shopping addiction to be a disease?
Only in as much as addiction is a disease, it is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive shopping.
Are all diseases considered genetic in their roots? Or are they acquired.
There are some psycho social factors but most are of a biological nature.
