The concept of "retail therapy" is not a playful term-it has genuine psychological benefits.
A study from the Cleveland Clinic Health shows that shopping triggers the release of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, creating a sense of joy and control.
The act of browsing and purchasing can provide a mental escape, boost mood, and even foster social connections, but the study found that it isn't persistent, and the happy feeling might last from a few days to just a few hours.
