What is Impulse Control Disorder?
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are characterized by repeated difficulties in resisting intense urges or impulses that can lead to harmful consequences, be it towards yourself or others.
Impulsive behaviors are often regarded to be inappropriate, risky, dangerous and excessive, and are generally followed by feelings of distress and regret.
People struggling with impulse control may end up experiencing serious consequences in various aspects of their lives. Their actions and behaviors can be harmful for their work life, personal relationships, finances and can even lead to legal trouble.
Over time, these behaviors can severely affect their overall well-being and quality of life.
Some signs of impulse control disorder are:
Finding it impossible to resist harmful urges such as stealing, arson, aggression etc.
Emotional build-up before acting on an impulse.
Feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction after carrying out the impulse.
Feeling a sense of shame and guilt after.
ICDs most often start in childhood and can continue well into adulthood. There can be several reasons for the development of this condition.
