History
Kleptomania was first described in 1816 in France as monomania . Then the French psychiatric school actively developed the doctrine of the so-called monomania - then it was assumed that mental illness can consist of painful inclinations, for example, murder , suicide , arson , etc., without other manifestations of insanity [3] . Until the 20th century, kleptomania was associated with hysteria , dementia , organic brain damage and menstrual irregularities in women. Currently, kleptomania is considered a violation of control over motives [4] . There are also hypotheses that kleptomania can be related to obsessive-compulsive disorders , along with pathological accumulation , oniomania , etc. [5] But there are also skeptics who claim that such a disease does not exist, and that kleptomania is just an excuse for theft in the face of the law [6] .
Kleptomania is often combined with other neuropsychiatric disorders, especially anxiety disorder , eating disorders , alcoholism , and drug addiction .
Diagnosis
According to the DSM-IV-TR 4th Edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , kleptomania is characterized by the following symptoms:
- repeated inability to overcome craving to steal an item that is not necessary for the stealing person and does not have significant material value for him;
- a growing sense of psychological pressure before committing theft;
- a sense of satisfaction and reassurance after the theft;
- the theft is committed not out of a feeling of hostility or revenge, not as a result of a hallucination or delusional disorder;
- theft is not related to behavioral disorder, bipolar disorder or antisocial personality disorder . [7]
