  https://patnaneuroandchildpsychiatry.in/kleptomania-signs-causes-treatment/

  Kleptomania is serious mental health disorder characterized by recurrent, compulsive stealing of items that are often unnecessary or of little value. […] The main difference between regular stealing and kleptomania is that people with kleptomania steal without needing the items. […] They might take things that are not valuable to them. […] Those with this condition often feel tense before stealing, relieved after, and then guilty, which can lead them to judge others harshly. […] In simple terms, unlike common theft, which is motivated by personal gain, kleptomania is driven by an uncontrollable urge, followed by temporary relief—and later, deep regret. […] Kleptomania is a rare but underreported impulse control disorder, affecting a small but significant portion of the population.

• #5 Kleptomania | Desmond Kaplan MD | Psychiatry

  https://www.mdkaplan.com/kleptomania.php

  Kleptomania is an impulse control disorder that involves an uncontrollable urge to steal. People with kleptomania usually steal items that they do not need and are of little value. They know that what they are doing is wrong, but cannot resist the urge to do it. Kleptomaniacs often experience uncomfortable feelings of anxiety and tension that can only be relieved by stealing. They then feel pleasure and relief while stealing, and then guilt and shame afterwards. They often also feel remorse and fear of arrest, but the urge to steal is so strong, it often returns and the kleptomania cycle begins again. […] Many people do not seek treatment for kleptomania out of embarrassment or fear of being arrested, but getting help is important. Treatment options for kleptomania may include medication and psychotherapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps the individual to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Cognitive behavioral therapy may also include techniques to help overcome kleptomania urges. Medication may help individuals with kleptomania who may also be suffering from other mental health disorders such as as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Support groups and twelve-step programs may also be effective in treating kleptomania. […] Left untreated, kleptomania can result in severe emotional, legal and financial problems.

• #15 Kleptomania Diagnostic Criteria

  https://www.mentalhealthmantra.com/article/kleptomania.html

  Kleptomania Diagnostic Criteria A. Recurrent failure to resist impulses to steal objects that are not needed for personal use or for their monetary value. B. Increasing sense of tension immediately before committing the theft. C. Pleasure, gratification, or relief at the time of committing the theft. D. The stealing is not committed to express anger or vengeance and is not in response to a delusion or a hallucination. E. The stealing is not better explained by conduct disorder, a manic episode, or antisocial personality disorder. Diagnostic Features […] The essential feature of kleptomania is the recurrent failure to resist impulses to steal items even though the items are not needed for personal use or for their monetary value (Criterion A). The individual experiences a rising subjective sense of tension before the theft (Criterion B) and feels pleasure, gratification, or relief when committing the theft (Criterion C). The stealing is not committed to express anger or vengeance, is not done in response to a delusion or hallucination (Criterion D), and is not better explained by conduct disorder, a manic episode, or antisocial personality disorder (Criterion E). The objects are stolen despite the fact that they are typically of little value to the individual, who could have afforded to pay for them and often gives them away or discards them. Occasionally the individual may hoard the stolen objects or surreptitiously return them. Although individuals with this disorder will generally avoid stealing when immediate arrest is probable (e.g., in full view of a police officer), they usually do not preplan the thefts or fully take into account the chances of apprehension. The stealing is done without assistance from, or collaboration with, others. Associated Features Supporting Diagnosis Individuals with kleptomania typically attempt to resist the impulse to steal, and they are aware that the act is wrong and senseless. The individual frequently fears being apprehended and often feels depressed or guilty about the thefts. Neurotransmitter pathways associated with behavioral addictions, including those associated with the serotonin, dopamine, and opioid systems, appear to play a role in kleptomania as well.

  Kleptomania is an impulse control disorder that involves an uncontrollable urge to steal. People with kleptomania usually steal items that they do not need and are of little value. They know that what they are doing is wrong, but cannot resist the urge to do it. Kleptomaniacs often experience uncomfortable feelings of anxiety and tension that can only be relieved by stealing. They then feel pleasure and relief while stealing, and then guilt and shame afterwards. They often also feel remorse and fear of arrest, but the urge to steal is so strong, it often returns and the kleptomania cycle begins again. […] Many people do not seek treatment for kleptomania out of embarrassment or fear of being arrested, but getting help is important. Treatment options for kleptomania may include medication and psychotherapy.

[…] Volunteers age 20 or older who think they may have kleptomania are encouraged to call the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Research Program at (650) 725-5180 for a confidential assessment for possible participation in the study.
