Randall Parker highlights how Stanford researchers are narrowing in on a treatment for Obsessive Shopping Disorder (go read it!).  This is an interesting correlation these researchers have found but as I mentioned in Mind Styling, I, like Derek, am concerned about the unknown long-term health impacts of today's psychopharmaceuticals:

"No one knows the effects of taking an SSRI drug (like Prozac) for twenty-five years. They just haven't been around that long...And the long-term (even the short-term) effects of all the combinations that people are using? No clear idea yet, either. As someone who spent eight years doing CNS drug research, I can tell you that we're not going to be able to even make reasonable guesses. The brain's too complex (it's damn near too complex for CNS drug research to exist at all.)"

So my two cents is users beware and keep shopping at the Stanford Shopping Center.
