Impulse Control Disorder
Impulse Control Disorder (ICD) is a mental health condition characterized by an inability to resist urges or impulses that may be harmful to oneself or others. Individuals with ICD often engage in behaviors such as excessive gambling, shopping, or substance abuse, despite negative consequences. This disorder can lead to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.
Treatment for Impulse Control Disorder typically involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals understand and manage their impulses. In some cases, medications may also be prescribed to help regulate mood and reduce impulsive behaviors. Early intervention is important for better outcomes.
