Many people get a kick out of buying a new shirt or book or CD. However, some people are addicted to such kicks, according to psychiatrists. To distinguish between a happy shopper and an addict, we should look for various signs of addiction. One such sign is that a shopper gets into serious credit card debt. Also, a mark of addiction is the frequent bouncing of checks. In addition, a shopping addict will experience a mood pattern: tension before shopping and a pleasant release from that tension afterward. Yet another sign of a shopping addict is shoplifting, especially if this has not been a behavior of the person in the past. A fifth indicator is that a shopper suffers from other addictive behaviors, such as overeating, overdrinking, or frequent gambling.
