Advertising Information Impulse-Control Disorders Difficulty controlling ones impulses occurs in many disorders; especially Substance Related Disorders, Conduct Disorders and Psychotic Disorders. However the classification of Impulse-Control Disorders is reserved for those disorders in which the defining characteristic is the inability to inhibit an impulse which might be harmful to oneself or others. There are five distinct Impulse Disorders. Intermittent Explosive Disorder is evidenced by episodes of acting out aggression and causing bodily harm and/or property destruction. Kleptomania is evidenced by acting out the impulse to misappropriate objects without the motive of monetary gain. Pyromania is evidenced by setting fires for hedonistic purposes. Pathological Gambling is evidenced by habitual, self destructive gambling. Tricotillomania is evidenced by recurrent hair pulling resulting in significant hair loss with a motivation of self gratification or tension release.

Kleptomania Disorders in the ability to control oneself Addiction to gambling Kleptomania Pyromania Suicidal tendencies Origin Kleptomania is a strong desire to steal. Often a kleptomaniac person steals things he could have bought easily or things that are not at all expensive. The person steals just for the tension or the kick. Kleptomania can be the result of emotional shortcomings during the youth. Symptoms These patients have an irresistible inclination to steal. Often they throw away the stolen goods. They are mostly interested in the kick of the stealing itself. Although psychiatrists consider kleptomania as a disease, this is not a legal excuse in front of an American or British court. Treatment This disorder is rather easy to treat. It is important to find another occupation to replace the stealing activity. It is also very important to make the patient realize that others are harmed by the stealing activities. Disorders in the ability to control oneself medguide-home

PDF version of: This Article (212KB) This Issue (1.23MB) Classification of Pathological Gambling as an Impulse Control Disorder G. Ron Frisch, PhD Problem Gambling Research Group Psychology Department, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, Canada E-mail: frisch@uwindsor.ca Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the appropriateness of the current classification of pathological gambling as an Impulse Control Disorder.

Research also shows that pathological gambling is similar in presentation and treatment outcome to other addictive behaviours such as alcohol and substance abuse. Given such findings, it is arguable that pathological gambling needs to be re-examined in terms of where it fits into a psychiatric classification system. Introduction The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., 1980) was the first to treat compulsive or pathological gambling as a separate condition labelling it a "mental disorder" (Levy & Feinberg, 1991). The DSM-III-R (1987) categorized pathological gambling as one of several Impulse Control Disorders, vaguely defined as mental disorders characterized by an irresistible impulse to perform harmful acts (McElroy, Hudson, Pope, Keck & Aizley, 1992).
