Patient

Kristyn Arlian

18 year old female

When discussing with my patient, Kristyn Arlian, she told me that she L-O-V-E-D to shop! She explained that shopping made her happy and shopping sales made her even happier. J Two days after the biggest day of the year as Kristyn would say, her family and friends decided that it was time to get her help. Now I bet you are wondering what the biggest day of the year is…BLACK FRIDAY! It’s where crazy people like Kristyn, her sister, mother, and aunts jump into a car and drive 80 miles to arrive in front of department stores that open at midnight. Kristyn tells me that her family strategies their plan after thanksgiving dinner and decides what are the biggest sales. She explains to me that she waits for this day every year and when it finally comes she is ecstatic. If you still do not understand this absurd day, Kristyn and her family leave Thursday at 9:30pm and shop until Friday at around 5:00pm, this involves NO sleeping.

After intense examination I have diagnose Kristyn with being a Shopaholic.

I have prescribed shopping once a month, 2 pills a day of anti withdrawals, and a strict allowance that will be monitored by her father. I also demand monthly checkups to see how her addiction is going. If she does not follow what I have prescribed we will have weekly checkups.
