Curing Kleptomania

- University of Minnesota researcher Jon Grant may have uncovered how to treat people who suffer from an addiction to shoplifting. By medicating people who suffer from kleptomania, their desire to steal was drastically reduced and in some cases, they had no desire at all.

The problem with treating kleptomaniacs is that you can't explain anything to them...they always take things literally.
Took me a second but I'm crying now lol.
lol
OMG wow 🤦😹
They always take things, literally.
Jail, a felony conviction, probation, none of this has ever helped me stop stealing.
ADD med Ritalin and Concerta will help you stop stealing
Pills are the new jail cell
@@averyadams5199 For some a jail cell, for others a key to the cell. Drugs can be both the problem and the solution.
I am so addicted to shoplifting. I’m only 13 and have anxiety, and I’ve already stolen $300 worth of products. I’m planning on having a shoplifting trip tomorrow. Even though I get anxiety attacks every time I do it, I can’t stop.
Girl I'm 32 and feel and do the same x
Hmmm kleptomaniac , Addicted to stealing and making stupid decisions ....
Would you be interested in becoming a Mercenary ?
The medication the psychiatrist is referring to is "naltraxone" in case anyone wondered.
I WAS wondering actually :)
Honestly I’m not sure if I used to be a kleptomaniac. When I was about 13, my friends introduced me to shoplifting candy and such. I instantly got hooked. It wasn’t because I wanted free candy, it was because of the adrenaline, it was so much fun. Most days after school, me and my friends immediately went to different supermarkets and stole. We never stole anything considered big, mostly candy bars and sodas or random small objects which had no meaning except for the rush from shoplifting. What kept me going, except from the adrenaline rush, was how good I was (at least from my perspective). I never got caught, except once which I will continue to explain. As time flew by, I started to steal more and more, not bigger items, just more frequently. I had started to almost nag at my best friend to go shoplifting. Everyday after school I wanted to do it. There’s two reasons to why I doubt I had kleptomania. 1. I feel like the adrenaline rush was what kept me going, I didn’t feel a particular urge to steal, maybe very slightly, but mostly it was just the addiction to the adrenaline. You see, shoplifting wasn’t the only forbidden thing we did, it was primarily shoplifting, but we also for an example tried smoking. We liked the feeling of doing something mischievous and forbidden, cause it gave us adrenaline. 2. As I said, I never got caught, except for one time, which was my last time. I had been doing this for almost 6 months and the staff at the supermarket caught us stealing a dollar worth candy bar, and called the police. I of course thought it was ridiculous, and to an extent I kind of still do. However, it was my last time. So it worked, but that was mostly because of my parents reaction which made me quit. Anyways, my point. I doubt I was a kleptomaniac because after that incident, I didn’t really want to do it again. My rationality had more control than my urge to steal (which was close to zero). I doubt anyone read this entire comment, but if you did, do you think it was just a phase or slight kleptomania?
When i was 10/12. I also used to steal like some girls stuff ( along with some friends), noth big just rings and hair clips but i was caught once and got a slap over my face for it.....and afterwards i also stopped. I guess, it was just a phase and maybe if we continued doing that, that would have developped to kleptomania. I never told anyone this coz i feel ashamed, i was stealing ...not for a long period of time and i know i did it i guess coz i used to hang out with girls who did it..so.i did it anyway. Never did it again and im 30 now.
yes
I read the whole thing and thank you for sharing
Definitely been there and I would say it is a phase or like a trigger for character development. Mainly because you've come to terms of the moral implications of stealing and the consequences it has to led to with that high. Kinda glad I got caught before I could steal bigger things otherwise the consequences would be much worse. And just like you I saw the path I was going to lead towards to if I continued this high.
The reason grocery store associates learn about “shrink”, or lost/stolen merchandise numbers.
I'm 14 but I've shoplifted so much. I hate it and it gives me panic attacks and I feel super guilty but I just have to keep doing it.
It's the biggest rush. Then the guilt kicks in afterwards
this is theft addiction as stated by nebulag34, im doing a systematic review of journals on kleptomania and people who are affected do not get a rush of excitement or do they feel rewarded after the theft. They experience high levels of anxiety before the theft and almost always have a feeling of shame after this has been done, which sends them into states of depression. Furthermore, the majority of the items that are stolen are disregarded and never used.
Thanks, my hypothesis is it is part of CPTSD childhood trauma of neglect, abandonment and/or abuse, where the activity is an attempt to fill a hole in the soul. Might that be conducive to your research? It may be mixed with ordinary shoplifting for various reasons, including addiction, poverty, lack of life, lack of joy, lack of stimulation, revenge, boredom, habit, power. Maybe. Too exhausted sick to think clearly. Want holistic therapy , not medications
Addicts badly need help, they just can't cure themselves on their own, they need support from loved ones too.
Stealing to express anger at corporations, to save money or because you actually want and use the things you are stealing is not Kleptomania, it is real u are not an expert on the topic just because you steal that is silly. I am very anti-corporate so I can understand your point of view if you are only stealing from huge chain stores, however that can cause the price of items to go up leaving regular people like u and I to foot the bill. Buying from independently owned stores does more good.
Stealing is wrong. When something goes missing, innocent people can appear suspect or worse still, wrongly accused.
"Stealing to express anger at corporations", excuse me, but i hate corporations too, yet i don't steal from them. That's fked up.
That’s me to for sure how do you stop?
A cure against satisfaction.
Our politicians need this.
With no intention to bring a chicken-egg debate here. I totally agree with the (assumed) chemical unbalance that produces mental disorders such as depression. My question is, what brings about such unbalances? If I'm perfectly healthy and I "suddenly" get depressed, why does this happen? If environmental events can change the brain chemistry, why use drugs?
Tomás Castillo ever get an answer... I have the same queston
they didn't state whether or not this drug was addictive. nor did they state whether or not the drug needed to be taken long-term.
I don’t steal from shops, but I steal literally the most random things from my friends. Like this one girl had a really cute journal she never used and I stole it. Then she also had a weird trophy thing. I took it. :(
Yes, it's like taking goods from the rich and giving them to the poor. very rewarding
Me suffering from this illness right now 😭
Interesting, to say the least.
This treatment may be applicable for other addictions, as well.
the means in which the medication works is questionable. it suppresses the ability to produce dopamine. this is good because there is no longer a reward feeling from doing these things, but bad because that means that there is very little reward feeling for anything at all. this can result in depressive symptoms
Interesting Theory, thanks for sharing with us.
@YoshisLastEgg , You go man. I do the exact same shit. I see every item as an amount of time working. You ever been caught?
why i donot understand
So you cure a behavioral addiction with drugs? Well, that's just changing the addiction source from any store to a drugstore, isn't it?
I did this for years but just stopped the things i lifted got bigger and never got caught and i never did it for profit ,now i look back and think what the fuck was i doing just think this aint right addiction is an addiction .
What did you do with the things you took?
Yes we need help but so does everyone on some way or another
Swiper stop swiping!
I am i kind of a klepto i used tos steal my friends legos then i started taking their phones but when i was caught i laughed it off as a joke.
i feel u
Did he ever say what the treatment was???
Dr. Benton quest?
Dr. Benton Quest
I have a question
wow i just feel asleep
Every fuckin around in the comments right, y'all sayin the exact script Ong
Do they remember the act ? Why can't they ever admit it.
Watertight compartments between the different selves, probably. The super-ego and the id. The I with shame , guilt and conscience versus the sick, stressed, confused, emotional, craving, feeling part of the soul. Are you a health-care worker? How did you make the emotional setting of those non-admitting talks? What would be consequences if they admitted, may they be afraid of punishment, of encounter with their unbearable shame, or of losing you? Of losing a needed good self-image, which doesn't seem to be that stable? What do you have to give them for that owning, some healing?
What did they medicate them with? Is the pharmaceutical on the market?
Guys, what is the music at the end of the video?
this is theft addiction not kleptomania
it's the same thing
Tespekt
What drug?
Concerta and Ritalin I guess
