Overview

Affluenza refers to the negative psychological and social consequences of affluence, characterized by an excessive desire for wealth and material possessions. The term, coined by [[john-de-graf|John de Graaf]] and [[david-wann|David Wann]], is used to critique the effects of consumerism on individuals and society. Despite being considered pseudo-scientific by some psychologists, affluenza remains a relevant concept in discussions about the impact of wealth and materialism on mental health and social relationships.
