Steals but not a Thief
What's not yours, is not yours. If you took it, you're a thief. There are tons of supermarkets and malls to buy necessities and belongings. If people get things from the store without paying for it, that's stealing and you'll be labeled as shoplifter, but not all people who steals can be considered as thief. Kleptomania is a rare but serious mental health disorder that can cause so much pain to an individual and to his or her love ones. It is the inability to control the urges to steal things that usually have just a little value. A disorder that is characterized by problems with emotional or behavioral self control is called Impulse Control disorder, and Kleptomania is an example of it. People who have this disorder tend to have a high tension and anxiety leading to theft. Also, they feel a sense of relief while stealing and guilt after doing it, then they continue the same cycle. The Kleptomania attacks of a person occurs spontaneously and unplanned. Anyone who can't resist the feeling of stealing should seek medical advice. Although there's no direct treatment, medication and psychotherapy (talk therapy) may help to end the cycle of stealing. If your friend or love ones have this condition, you should talk to them and try to raise your concern. Tell them what their condition is and the things that he/she have to do. Not all people that steals, do it intentionally, some are just Kleptomaniac but they're not thieves.

They're not thieves because their intentions were never to steal. It was just the disorder that made them do it. I've watched a kdrama series that had explained about Kleptomania. Its actually very alarming, 'coz this kind of patients must be aware of their situation and hopefully to have an expert to help them cure this thing.
Some kleptomaniac are afraid to seek medical health because they think that they will go to jail
That's the reason why we have to be there for those people who suffers from this disorder. To guide them to walk through the right path
Yes we have to support them so further emotional breakdown will not happen
True. Kaya dapat lahat din nakakaalam about sa disorder na to para maavoid ang toxic mentality
Indeed, specially yung authorities para hindi rin sila maging rough along the process if may mahuli sila na ganun
Trueee. Sana makaabot sa kanila tong article mo. 😉
I hope people would really take mental illnesses seriously. Nice article for awareness.
Thank you, I'm glad to know my article is informative😊. I hope people will not disregard mental health.
Very sad to know about such disorder,I never knew such thing until this one..They must have struggled real hard...
Yes, imagine you can't control your urges, even you don't want to steal you end up doing it
It's really scary to have this disorder, people might misunderstands what your are doing and why did you do it. We must spread awareness for this disorder
Yes, we can share our article in different social media so people well get informed. I recently discovered that my sister know someone like that and his family thought that he just have the habit of stealing, i told my sister that she should inform the family cause it's serious. I hope she'll succeed in educating them.
