Mental health professionals do not consider compulsive shopping an “addiction” due to the fact that there is no physical dependency as you would find with drugs or alcohol.
心理健康专家认为强迫性购物不算是一个癖嗜，因为它并没有生理依赖，这和对毒品和酒精依赖不同。
Compulsive shopping typically occurs in a continuing viscous cycle.
强迫性购物通常会形成持续的恶性循环。
It’s usually set off by depression or some other emotional distress such as boredom, disappointment, anger or fear.
它通常是由抑郁或者其他一些精神痛苦，如厌倦、失望、愤怒或恐惧引起的。
When these emotions come, they set off an impulse for crazy shopping which gives a sense of relief.
当这些情绪来袭，他们会爆发疯狂的能够带来解脱感的购物欲望。
When they reach a depressed state, they’re extremely susceptible to advertising and will buy anything that they feel will make them more attractive, powerful or secure.
当达到一个相对低迷的状态，他们非常容易相信广告，物品的吸引力，强大功能或者安全感会增强。
Following the purchase, however, there is a letdown usually followed by guilt over the wasted money or increasing debt.
但是购物后，会伴随着失望，这是出于浪费金钱和增加债务的愧疚。
This guilt and stress leads to another round of depression, which begins the compulsive shopping cycle all over again.
这种内疚和压力导致另一轮的抑郁，使得强迫性购物如此循环反复。
Treatment for shopaholism can be more complex than treating a physical addiction like drugs or alcohol.
治疗购物狂证可能是比像毒品或酒精的物理成瘾治疗更复杂。
While there are a number of steps a compulsive shopper can take on their own to help reduce their shopping to normal levels, ultimately professional psychological help is needed to overcome the problem.
虽然强迫性购物者可以采取一系列步骤自己减少购物次数到正常水平，但是最终想要解决该症还需要专业的心理辅导。
