Answer to Question 1

Answer: Most are young and have incomes under 50,000 per year. Most are highly likely to float large credit card balances rather than paying off such debt in full. Many experience uncontrollable buying binges, make senseless and impulsive purchases, and feel depressed after shopping.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Currently, the working draft of the DSM-5 classifies two types of behavioral addiction as true psychiatric disorders: pathological gambling and hypersexual disorder (commonly called sex addiction). In addition, the working draft includes a proposed diagnosis for a behavioral addiction not otherwise specified that psychiatrists could use for patients with behaviors such as compulsive shopping, texting, and Internet use.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
