shopping can be a hobby they love and that makes their life a little happier. But for a minority
,somehow, shopping became a drug. A trip to a store is hoe these “shopaholics” fuel their addiction.

these cards easy to obtain. Using a card gives the illusion that you do not spent money. People can
spend vas sums without realizing it.
Shopaholics don’t realize that they have problems. They end up either with huge overdrafts ,or
filling for bankruptcy. That is not like the alcohol or drugs addiction . Shopping is less easy to detect but
is also in need of professional help.

laws to prevent banks from giving out credit cards. Doctors tried to persuade governments to introduce
controls over card and banks , few of them will interfere with them as long as the Doctors tried to

root of the shopaholic’s depression can make easier to deal with it, helping the shopaholic to face the
real problems that trigger their shopping mania.
