Kleptomania involves an uncontrollable, irresistible, and repetitive impulse to steal and hoard items that belong to others.
Some of the most common forms of impulse control disorders that present in children and adolescents are described in the following: These individuals do not possess the necessary skills required to govern behaviors and emotional responses appropriately and treatment is necessary. Even in cases where individuals suffering from these conditions have a desire to gain control over their emotions and behaviors, they find it difficult, and almost impossible, to do so due to the fact that the urges to participate in the behaviors are undeniably overwhelming and all-consuming. Children and adolescents with impulse control disorders frequently engage in repetitive, destructive behaviors despite the adverse consequences that arise from the participation in those behaviors. Impulse control disorders are characterized by chronic problems in which people lack the ability to maintain self-control which ultimately results in the onset of extreme disruptions and dysfunctions in personal, familial, social, and academic aspects of their lives. When children and adolescents severely struggle to control their emotions and behaviors, they may potentially be suffering from an impulse control disorder.
