Pyromania is a psychological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to start fires. Individuals with this condition often feel a sense of tension or excitement before setting a fire and experience relief or pleasure afterward. This behavior is not motivated by financial gain or revenge but is driven by a compulsion to ignite flames. People with pyromania may start fires in various settings, including homes, forests, or vehicles. The disorder can lead to significant legal and social consequences, as well as potential harm to themselves and others. Treatment often involves therapy and support to address underlying issues and manage impulses.
