Oniomania is the technical term for the compulsive desire to shop, which manifests itself as a preoccupation with buying and engaging in shopping despite the negative consequences.

Oniomania was first described over a century ago, but there was little interest in exploring it further.

Shopaholism, or oniomania, is the technical term for the compulsive desire to shop, a condition first diagnosed in 1915, with sufferers often experiencing the highs and lows associated with addiction.
