Kleptomania mystery
Scientists have tried to solve the mystery of kleptomania for a long time already. This disease is unique that is why there are no theories how to fight it. There are symptoms that were determined by doctors. According to them kleptomaniac is very similar to gambler. Feeling pathological passion he/she gets great pleasure from the risk and the thought that he/she can be caught.
Besides, the weak desire to resist the disease appears in kleptomaniac. As alcoholics, he/she wants to drink but can't although he/she drinks in the end. When kleptomaniac doesn't steal for a long time, he/she begins to feel discomfort. And although he/she doesn't control his/her emotions while stealing, he/she perfectly remembers the moment of stealing.
During stealing such person gets the doze of adrenaline, he/she may feel extreme pleasure but at the same time such person is afraid of being punished and he/she always feels guilty. But the next time he/she does the same thing. Besides, kleptomaniac always works alone. Some kleptomaniacs keep stolen things, others turn them back.
The most famous kleptomaniac in the world was the French king Henry IV that soon after stealing returned the stolen things frankly laughing at the person who allowed stealing something.
But according to recent investigation women at the age of 30-36 are more inclined to this disease.
