Retail-therapy is a term used to describe the act of shopping as a form of stress relief, relaxation, or emotional support. However, there are many other terms that can describe this activity. For instance, shopping spree is a term used to describe a period of time where a person is constantly shopping. Retail binge is another term that describes a person's excessive and compulsive shopping behavior. Shopping addiction, compulsive shopping, and shopaholic are also terms that describe this behavior. Retail therapy can also be referred to as stress shopping, emotional shopping, or even shopping therapy. Regardless of the term used, it is essential to recognize when shopping transitions from a casual hobby or form of entertainment to an unhealthy obsession.
