Here's what kleptomania is, what it isn't, and how people with this serious condition can get the help they need, writes navsaleh
the severity of a kleptomania diagnosis was strongly correlated with feeling a “reward” from stealing, as well ascompulsivity disorders such as OCD and anorexia nervosa. They wrote, “Treatment approaches should incorporate these as possible treatment targets. These data may also support the conceptualization of kleptomania as an obsessive-compulsive related disorder rather than being allied to substance use or impulsive disorders.
In the literature, a few cases have highlighted kleptomania as an adverse effect of venlafaxine administration. Venlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor , and experts hypothesize that kleptomania secondary to venlafaxine administration could be due to heightened dopaminergic activity. On a related note, shoplifting commonly occurs in patients with Parkinson's disease during prodopamine administration.
In a 2015 Maine Supreme Court Case, a defense of"not guilty by reason of insanity" due to kleptomania was unsuccessful. People with kleptomania struggle greatly with the condition. Although much remains to be elucidated regarding kleptomania, emerging psychotropic and psychotherapeutic interventions may help those with the condition. In the meantime, they would likely benefit more from compassionate treatment instead of legal repercussions.Blum AW, Grant JE. Behavioral Addictions and Criminal Responsibility.
