Impulsive Control Disorders and Kleptomania Disorder
|
Another person I studied closely was in fact a kleptomaniac, habitual criminal, habitual liar, and forever a problem. Yet, her problem was extreme. Whilst a psychiatrist diagnosed her with Bipolar and Posttraumatic Stress-PTSD, I saw otherwise. This woman had antisocial personality disorders, coupled with other disorders. The woman wrote bad checks, stole, etc and this was ongoing. The counselor was thoroughly deceived by this woman, and thus for more than twenty-five years this woman adhered to these behaviors. Therefore, those claiming that this is an easy fix are merely lying to you, or else the person is misinformed. Where kleptomaniacs fall into the addiction category is because the symptoms are similar to addictions, including alcohol, drugs, etc. Kleptomaniacs often endure antisocial personality disorders, maniac depression, conduct and impulsive personality disorders, etc. In order to fix the problem, ongoing therapy is needed. Kleptomaniacs are not an easy fix; rather they will need continuing therapy, since antisocial personality disorders is involved and no cure is available. As you can see this addiction is more severe than most addictions, i.e. this addiction can lead to death. The person after a time may tire out of the addiction and move onto to crimes that are more dramatic. Antisocial Personality Disorder is a variant, rather this disorder is re-titled (psychopath). If you know anyone suffering addiction, it is wise to ask for help. Often people with these types of disorders and addictions are in constant denial and will rarely ask for help. For the most part, they will ask for help when criminal prosecution occurs, yet it is a superficial plea. One thing you never do is cover up any wrongful behavior of a loved one, i.e. if you notice your loved one stealing, take measures to report him/her to the authorities. I know this sounds harsh, but if you continue to enforce consequences, just maybe your loved one may get the point. Consequences might need to be pointed out to the extremes. Therefore, showing tough love is the ultimate solution for helping these people move toward recovery. If you can lead the person to a therapist this can help, but the truth is no medication is available to control these types of kleptomania addictions and personality types. Still, a therapist may offer some assistance in moving toward control, however, rarely are you going to find a counselor that will focus on recovery, because again this specific addiction and disorders has no available treatments for recovery. |
