Join us as we examine how the simple task of shopping is an everyday battle for those who suffer from Compulsive Shopping. Currently 15 millions Americans suffer from compulsive shopping – an obsession with shopping that significantly interferes with the functioning of the individual.
As one addict stated-- the store was the drug and shopping was the “high.” Just like any other addiction the search for that “high” often effects the people closest to the addict. Mothers have left their children at home alone to go shop, fathers have emptied bank accounts to purchase memorabilia-- this addiction doesn't discriminate on age, race, or gender.
