Oniomania: Perennial dementia of shopping

- Vocabulary-Paresh diameter

- '' Reasonable retail shopping gives relief from mental illness. But the bad side of it is that it gets used to. There is an English word for it: "Shophalic".

I am in the world, I am not in the world.

I have gone through the market, I am not a buyer.

- Akbar Allahabadi

(Salary - willing, wanting)

Let's go through the market, let's know, but let's not buy anything, the word for that is window-shopping. According to the Gujarati lexicon, it means merely looking at the goods arranged in the glass windows. Well known shireer Akbar Allahabadi (18-191) says that I am in the world, I go to the market but I do not want to buy anything. I only do window-shopping. I am not a buyer. But this is about the nineteenth century. Times have changed. Now the market is online. I often go through the market virtually.

Take the mobile in hand and I mistakenly click on the e-commerce website on the oil item and then .... every time I open the website, I keep seeing advertisements to buy hair oil. Google sees me as a future buyer and will eventually let me down. I'm still shopping. I'm addicted. The clock does not fall. A report in the Financial Times says online shopping has soared in the Covid era.

Don't go out and buy online. Also protected against viruses. We have written about the term 'retail therapy' before. Mental illness can be alleviated by making reasonable purchases. But the bad side of it is that it gets used to. There is an English word for it: shopaholic. Shopping + Alkaline. Alcoholic means alcoholic. A person who is addicted. Shopping is addictive here. And you know that addiction is not good at all.

The word we are talking about today is one step above Shophalic. The word is Oniomania. According to Gujarati lexicon, oniomania means craze, craze to buy things. The Gujarati word 'purchase' means to buy. And what is dementia? Madness, madness, mania, tor, madness, storm, delirium. Cryotherapy is what psychotherapists call Compulsive Buying Disorder (CBD). In Gujarati, it means 'worldly shopping disorder'. This is a disease. Oniomania means onio + mania. 'Onios' is a Greek word. It means - for sale. And 'mania' is also a Greek word. ‘Man’ means to think. Mania means madness of thoughts, obsession, agitation.

London-based therapist Sally Baker writes that oniomania is an uncontrolled desire to buy. As the money is spent, the things purchased are accumulated. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. If the debtor has lost money. Purchased items are re-sold in water moles. Economic catastrophe must happen.

As mental illness grows darker. The difference between Shopholic and Oniomania is that Shopholic enjoys shopping. Sometimes it adjusts if it costs more. Can set their own budget. Returns the purchased item. While in onychomania the buyer has no control over himself. It is fun in the beginning but then it is not fun even in shopping. Habitual shopping is done.

Then the mind becomes restless. Then there is anxiety. And sadness envelops. Then confidence rises. Everything gets harder. Having oniomania means a rift in personal relationships. If your partner is constantly surfing websites on his mobile phone, wet feelings like love bram are shattered and thrown into the green dustbin. It takes a long time to accept that this is a serious disease. And then it happens that the loser doubles oniomaniac as the loser gambles twice. It is not right to ignore the craziness.

Yes, there is a cure. Experts say that the disease is more common in women than men. Women are already probably forced to spend by asking men. So after a while it happens that why ask? Is there such a thing as women's freedom or not? Now it is up to me to decide what to take. And then start shopping recklessly.

Sad Osad shopping! It's fun to shop, but it's like bringing it home or delivering a courier parcel contactlessly or feeling like you've committed an unforgivable crime. It is also seen that such people usually go shopping alone or even do online shopping alone because they are scared that if anyone sees them, they will stop and tease them. And they don't like that at all. Compulsive buying disorder is a mental illness and its medical treatment is possible.

Even a little effort can be made. Such as giving up a credit card. Keep an eye out for internet shopping sites. Trying to divert the insanity of the mind. Spend more time with friends and yes, never go shopping alone. Also shop online only when one has. May I ask? And yes, to keep their money hidden. If it appears, it will be spent. Set a monthly purchase limit. Not more than that. We have a habit of looking human. So if he took it, then I will take it too - so what happens? Short with long, it does not die but gets sick. Have to go to a psychiatrist later. That is why I have said that if there is a comparison ...... we do not come down at all! Enjoy the renunciation.
