Frequently asked questions
Kleptomania is a mental health condition where a person feels a strong urge to steal items they do not need or cannot use. The stealing is not planned and is not done for money or personal gain.
In kleptomania, the person steals because of an uncontrollable urge, not because they want the item. People often feel tension before stealing and guilt or shame after, which is different from regular theft.
The exact cause is not fully known, but it may be linked to problems with brain chemicals, stress, emotional issues, or other mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
Yes, kleptomania can be treated. Treatment may include counselling, therapy, and sometimes medication to help control urges and manage emotions.
