Understanding Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs)
These conditions are a type of psychiatric disorder when people struggle to control urges to do things that can hurt themselves or others. The individual often repeats the actions too frequently, strongly putting effort into them, and afterwards might feel both gratification and shame or guilt.
Also known as cardiology codes, ICD codes may include:
- Sudden outbursts of anger may indicate Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
- Kleptomania: An urge that doesn’t go away to steal things a person doesn’t require or can’t use to make money.
- Pyromania: An urge to light fires to ease stress or because it gives pleasure.
- Spree shopping: Spending that you can’t stop, often leading to problems with money and emotions.
- Trichotillomania: Pulling out one’s hair regularly
Because these conditions are often found with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or substance use, getting full and integrated treatment is important.
Symptoms of Impulse Control Disorders
An impulse control disorder can cause people to experience:
- Strong feelings that make someone want to do things that are not good for them
- Before acting, I feel more tense or anxious.
- A feeling of satisfaction, enjoyment, or joy after the behavior
- Guilt, shame or regret can follow after the action.
- Having issues performing at work, school, or within relationships
- Failing to fight the urge despite it bringing negative results
Although people may sometimes make hasty decisions, those diagnosed with ICDs often cannot control their actions and keep harming others, until they receive treatment.
What Causes Impulse Control Disorders?
Experts aren’t sure why ICDs occur, but studies indicate that they may develop as a result of several factors together.
Heritage – Mental health disorders in family history
Neurological problems may be caused by an excess or lack of serotonin or dopamine in the brain.
Environmental triggers refer to poor parenting or childhood trauma, abuse or neglect.
The same person can suffer from substance abuse as well as other psychiatric disorders.
Understanding the main reasons is key to creating a successful treatment for each person.
Diagnosis and Treatment
How are ICDs Diagnosed?
A mental health professional uses psychological evaluations, looks at a person’s behavior and excludes other medical or psychological problems to diagnose Impulse Control Disorders. During diagnosis, it may be important to learn how often, for how long and how much impulsive behaviors affect a person’s life.
