pyromania
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 can lead to significant harm, including property damage and endangerment of lives.
People with pyromania may not have a clear motive for their actions, unlike arsonists who typically have specific goals. Treatment often involves therapy and counseling to address underlying issues. Understanding pyromania is essential for prevention and support for those affected by this disorder.
