DEF

Disorder characterized by repeated failure to resist impulses to steal objects that are not acquired for personal use or monetary gain.

CONT

Individuals with kleptomania typically attempt to resist the impulse to steal, and they are aware that the act is wrong and senseless. The individual frequently fears being apprehended and often feels depressed or guilty about the thefts. Neurotransmitter pathways associated with behavioral addictions ... appear to play a role in kleptomania as well.

DEF

[Trouble caractérisé par la] pulsion irrépressible [et répétée] de s'approprier des objets, ceci en l'absence d'un motif économique ou d'un besoin réel de cet objet.

OBS

On note que, juste avant le vol, le kleptomane ressent une excitation ou une tension alors qu'au moment du vol, il montrera un état de plaisir, de gratification et/ou de soulagement. Un scénario fréquent est que la personne montrera plus tard des sentiments de détresse et de culpabilité liés au fait de ne pouvoir contrôler ses comportements ou d'avoir fait du tort à autrui.
