Kleptomania
Kleptomania is a mental disorder in which those affected repeatedly and uncontrollably steal objects without having an actual need for them. Theft is not motivated by material gain, but rather by an inner urge that is difficult to control. People with kleptomania often experience inner tension or anxiety before stealing, which is temporarily relieved by the act itself. Afterward, feelings such as guilt, shame, or remorse may arise. The disorder belongs to the impulse control disorders and differs from ordinary theft in the absence of a clear benefit or premeditated intent. Kleptomania can severely impact social life, as those affected often try to conceal their actions, leading to isolation. Coping with the disorder requires understanding and often professional support.
