What is "kleptomania"?

Kleptomania is a mental health disorder characterized by repeated impulses to steal items that are not needed for personal use or for their value. People with kleptomania often experience tension before stealing, followed by feelings of relief or satisfaction afterward. Unlike typical stealing, individuals with kleptomania may steal items they do not need or want, often feeling shame, guilt, or regret afterward. The behavior is typically impulsive and not motivated by anger or revenge. Treatment may involve therapy, medication, and support groups to help individuals manage urges and address underlying emotional issues.
