Shopping addiction is characterized by an eagerness to purchase unnecessary or superfluous things and a lack of impulse control when it comes to shopping. It is a concept similar to compulsive buying disorder (oniomania), but usually has a more psychosocial perspective,[1] or is viewed as a drug-free addiction like addiction to gambling, Internet, or video-games.[2]
