A pyromaniac is an individual who has an uncontrollable urge to start fires. This behavior is often linked to psychological conditions, where the act of setting fires provides a sense of pleasure or relief. Pyromania is classified as an impulse control disorder, and it can lead to dangerous situations, including property damage and harm to others. People with pyromania may feel tension before starting a fire and experience gratification or relief afterward. Treatment often involves therapy and counseling to address underlying issues. Understanding this disorder is crucial for prevention and intervention, as it can have serious consequences for both the individual and the community.
