Talk:Compulsive buying disorder

Compulsive buying

Is Oniomania the same as "Compulsive buying"? If so, I would suggest the article be moved to Compulsive buying which seems to be more common. --Vsion 01:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

my thoughts too, Oniomania is hardly the first search term someone wanting to find this article would use. I'm being bold and making compulsive buying and Compulsive spending redirects to this page. KTo288 18:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Oniomania

Also known as oniomania -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.110.179 (talk • contribs) 18:43, March 31, 2008 (UTC)

I linked the two of them together. I'm not sure if a merge is in order here or not (i.e. if they're exactly the same). -- Scarpy (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Is This Listed in DSM IV?

Is this listed as an addiction in the APA's Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV or any other reputable evidence-based diagnostic medical guide? If not, I suggest that there be a preface to this effect, as well as balancing references from critics of this therapeutic model Calibanu (talk) 00:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)User Calibanu

Do the cited references occur within peer-reviewed medical or professional journals, and are they references to primary research projects, or are they literature reviews? ````User Calibanu

It's published in several journals, you will find them in the "references" section with the footnotes corresponding to the article. Please have a look at WP:NOR. -- Scarpy (talk) 03:14, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Compulsive buying disorder

This is an uncontroversial merge. Both articles are about the same problem. I considered merging the articles myself, but I have too many other things to do. —Unforgettableid (talk) 21:18, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Neurological Basis

This article focuses on psychological causes, but this disorder might sometimes be a symptom of OCD, which many researchers see as genetic in nature, at least in some cases. Bostoner (talk) 00:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
