Kleptomania Treatment And Cure: Generally there are only two types of diseases, mental and physical. We often talk about diseases of the body, but rarely talk about mental illness or mental problems. You will be surprised to know that the problems occurring in the brain are very mysterious in themselves. There is a different world of mental disorder and mania. There are hundreds of types of mania and disorders. One of these is Kleptomania, the person who gets caught by this mania, gets addicted to stealing.
Why do people steal?
- People who get Kleptomania, they steal as soon as they get a chance. That is, they are not professional thieves, but as soon as they get a chance, they do not miss stealing and they steal only those things, which they have liked very much. They have no intention of earning money by stealing.
- Klyptomania is such a mental problem, in which the person knows that he is stealing and he also understands that stealing is wrong. But as soon as he gets a suitable chance to steal, he is unable to control the emotions of stealing that arise inside him and steals whatever he thinks is right.
Gilt also happens later
- After stealing, in most of the cases, the patients of kleptomania also have the guilt of stealing. The time it takes to feel this gilt varies from case to case and it is not necessary that a patient gets gilt in the same time period every time.
- But when they realize their mistake, they either donate the stolen goods or simply give them to someone else. So that when that thing is in front of them, they do not make them realize their mistake again and again. However, when they get a chance to steal for the second time, they steal something or the other again… and this cycle continues.
Their theft is also specific
- People suffering from Klyptomania like to steal some special and small things. Usually such things, which they can easily hide in their purse or clothes. The special thing is that they neither go to anyone’s house and steal nor steal anyone’s purse or money.
- They will usually steal any small thing while shopping. For example, if a person suffering from this mania goes for cosmetic shopping, they will steal anything like lipstick or nail paint which looks good. Although they do not have the intention to steal, but as soon as they get a chance to steal, they steal. Because by doing this they get happiness.
a strong urge to steal
- In this mania, a person goes to the shop to buy one item, then if he likes the other item, he steals it. Then even if that item is cheap or expensive. And whether that person has the ability to buy that item. You can also call it unintentional theft. Because these people never go after planning in advance that we have to steal such and such thing.
- Rather, suddenly a strong desire to steal arises inside them, and at that moment they are unable to control that desire and end up stealing. However, even at that time they understand that what they are doing is not right. But still they cannot stop themselves. After stealing, they get a lot of relief immediately, they feel very happy. However, later they realize their mistake and then they also struggle to come out of that gilt.
This problem can happen to anyone
- It is not that the problem of kleptomania usually occurs only to those people who are not financially prosperous. Rather, this problem can happen to anyone, even to a millionaire and a billionaire. If you want to feel this problem and want to know what happens after all, which forces a person from a wealthy family to steal, then you can watch Manoj Bajpayee’s film ‘Ray’ for this. Four short stories have been shown in this film and the last story is based on Klyptomania. Manoj Bajpayee has played the character of a person suffering from this mania.
possible cure
- Talking about Klyptomania, Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Senior Psychiatrist, Max Hospital Patparganj, Delhi, says that ‘Klyptomania is completely treatable and like any other mental illness, it is also a disease, which can be cured. For this, counseling is done primarily and medicines are also given if needed.
this thing will surprise you
- Such patients are well adjusted in the family and society. No one ever has any problem with them. That’s why usually it is not even known about them. However, this mania is having a bad effect on their own emotional health. Because the fear of getting caught, the fear of being insulted remains. In such a situation, if a patient of this disease goes to a psychiatrist or counselor on his own and tells his problem, then he is treated keeping his identity completely secret.
- Talking about the patients of Klyptomania, Senior Psychologist Ira Gupta of Udgam Mental Health Care Hospital says, ‘Both children and adults can be its patients in the age group. But when the parents come to know about the child, they pay attention to his treatment. But it is a bit difficult for adults to accept that they steal and then come for counseling. However, whatever patients want to get rid of this problem, things become normal for them after treatment. ,
