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 tension before stealing and experience 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 be crucial in the recovery process. Understanding and addressing the underlying emotional issues is essential for effective management of this disorder.
