A Pill To Cure Compulsive Shopping
Are you guilty of buying too many PDAs? Or... PDA cases, styli, cradles, memory cards, what have you? Well, compulsive shopping might be a curable disorder. 8O
"Anti-depressants can help people stop their compulsive shopping, according to new research. An American team has discovered that citalopram, sold as Cipramil, reduces compulsive shopping tendencies in people who 'binge shop.' Citalopram belongs to a class of anti-depressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The medication works to raise the serotonin levels in the brain. It's thought that reduced transmission of serotonin plays a role in causing depression."
Wait a second... does this mean our PDA obsession is stemming from depression? :lol:
