Kleptomania is a psychological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to steal items that are not needed for personal use or monetary gain. Individuals with this condition often feel a sense of tension before stealing and relief or pleasure afterward. It is classified as an impulse control disorder and can lead to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. Treatment for kleptomania may include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication to help manage symptoms. Support from family and friends can also play a crucial role in recovery. Understanding this disorder is important for reducing stigma and encouraging those affected to seek help.
