Impulse Control Disorders
Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs) are a group of mental health conditions where a person has trouble resisting the urge to do something harmful or unhealthy. This could include things like compulsive gambling, excessive shopping, or frequent hair pulling (trichotillomania). People with ICDs often struggle to control their impulses, even when they know it's causing problems in their life. Treatment typically involves therapy and sometimes medication to help manage these impulses.
