Inpomania

Inpomania (in-poh-mey-nee-uh) – Extreme consumerism and spiritualism associated with the disparity of wealth and misfortune, resulting in a life of chronic disadvantage in possession, debt, unemployment, education, stress, racial discrimination within the criminal justice system, and impaired relationships.

Sentence Examples:
1. “Erin stole merchandise and sold it online to provide food and shelter for his family; Erin is an inpomanic.”

2. “Inpomania is particularly rampant in the United States, where society places low priority on impoverished areas with limited resources, resulting in gentrification.”

Antonym:
Affluenza – the unhealthy and unwelcome psychological and social effects of affluence, regarded especially as a widespread societal problem, such as feelings of guilt, lack of motivation, and social isolation experienced by wealthy people.

Tendencies:
– Violent outbursts due to frustration
– Higher likelihood of committing crimes
– Feelings of marginalization
– Helplessness
– Dependency
– Social outcast status
– Inferiority complex
– Gang affiliation (with criminal intent)

Treatment:
1. Education in Wealth Management – By understanding how to manage and grow wealth, individuals are less likely to commit crimes than those without financial literacy. Retirement planning is particularly crucial, as uncertainty demands adaptable strategies. Failure to adapt leads to financial demise.

2. Understanding Judicial & Government Systems – Legal knowledge promotes rational life decisions and reduces criminal behavior. As judges state, ignorance of the law is not a valid defense in most criminal cases.

3. Understanding Nutrition’s Role in Mental Health – Unhealthy diets can exacerbate depression, psychosis, bipolar disorders, epilepsy, developmental/behavioral disorders in youth, dementia, substance abuse, self-harm, and medically unexplained symptoms. Proper nourishment enhances cognitive function.

4. Aptitude Testing – These assessments identify strengths/weaknesses in specific skills or fields, guiding career choices. While not deterministic, they clarify potential paths, making goal pursuit more fulfilling.

5. Psychological Evaluation – Tests help psychologists diagnose issues (anger management, interpersonal skills, personality traits, or disorders like anxiety/depression) when problems arise at work, school, home, or in relationships. Evaluations pinpoint root causes (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD) to tailor solutions.

6. Accessible Healthcare – Societies require hospitals to treat illnesses, injuries, and emergencies. Longer, healthier lives are foundational to achieving personal aspirations.

7. Structured Mentorship Programs – Mentoring aids youth navigating life transitions (e.g., family stress, adulthood). Successful programs feature long-term (>1 year), consistent bonds between mentors and mentees. Poorly matched or short-term (<3 months) relationships can cause harm.

Benefits include:
– Higher graduation rates & educational aspirations
– Healthier relationships/lifestyle choices
– Improved self-esteem, behavior, and interpersonal skills
– Reduced substance abuse initiation
– Stronger family/peer/teacher bonds
– Volunteer network development
– Patience and supervisory skill growth

8. Avoiding Incarceration – Imprisonment worsens inpomania, reinforcing criminal lifestyles. Intensive rehabilitation (applying Treatments 1–7) yields superior outcomes.
