Retail addicts have something in common with all addictions, they all have a root cause. Oniomaniacs get into a vicious circle that consists of negative emotions like anger and stress, which lead to purchasing something. After the buying is over, the person is either regretful or depressed. In order to cope with the feelings, the addicted person resorts to another purchase.

Oniomania usually stems at an early age. Children who experience parental neglect will grow up with low character-respect because throughout their childhood, they experienced that they were not important as a qualitity, but recognized as a worthless object. As an effect, these neglected children play only with toys to compensate for their sensations of lonliness. Adults that have depended on equipment for emotional support when they were younger are most likely to become addicted to shopping because of the ongoing sentiment of deprivation they endured as a child. http://oniamania.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-is-oniomania.html
