how do you get rid of a shopping addiction? is that a obsessive compulsive disorder?
Q. how do u break the habit of obsessive shopping? is that a mental disorder? or just a habit you form within a time frame?

A. You ask far too broad of a question to be answered here. What is OCD for one person may be only a bad habit for someone else. OCD is not just a bad habit. If it was, we would call it BHD (Bad Habit Disorder). There is lots of help available for individuals with OCD but it has to be for the individual. The best treatment for one may not be the best for another. As easy as it is to put off, go and talk to a professional. Options beside the family Dr or psychiatrists are Psychologists, MSWs, counselors or addiction specialists. They can help you find the answers that are the right fit for you. No need to suffer if there is help available.
