Where would you go on a shopping spree?
Retail therapy isn’t an official form of therapy but it can boost your mood.
Nothing lifts your mood quite like something new. The act of shopping releases dopamine which is a feel good neurotransmitter in our brains. This immediate reward system can help get rid of feeling of sadness or stress and gives us a huge boost of happiness.
Just like everything else shopping can become an addiction. An uncontrollable urge to stop, or excessive spending that’s beyond our financial needs.
From Pity to Praise 
Shopping as therapy? Now that’s the kind of medicine I can get behind! Side effects may include an empty wallet, a full closet, and the sudden need to explain “it was on sale” to concerned family members.

Lol. I always shop the clearance racks. I can say it’s on sale, and have new things. It’s unfortunate that even shopping can be addictive though.
