According to psychologists the majority of people who suffer from this disease are women that may continue their suffering for 15 years and sometimes even more.
Kleptomania was the disease that always provoked negative attitude to people sick with it because ordinary and healthy people couldn’t understand how the person can’t stop from taking something from supermarket referring such behaviour to bad education.
Kleptomania doesn’t suppose that kleptomaniac has no conscience. He/she really has it, simply he/she can’t fight his/her disease and such people must be medically treated. Kleptomania can be treated with the help of hypnosis. Unfortunately, only 15% of people ill with kleptomania turn to doctors for help.
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 a lot of medical vocabularies and encyclopaedias that mention this disease. According to statistics about 5% of all burglars are kleptomaniacs in reality.

Young kleptomaniacs
Many parents, children of which start to steal sometimes start to consider whether their child is kleptomaniac. But don't worry, the probability is so law that it may not concern your child.
If your child stole something once in its life it doesn't mean it is a thief or a kleptomaniac. It is the natural phenomenon and not the disorder. After all, a child grows and it verifies everything that is around it with the help of its own experience. In such way it considers the limits of allowed and not allowed. After the necessary educative conversation the desire to steal disappears.
There are also cases when children steal because they can't buy the thing they want. But usually there is another problem concealed behind the stealing. Recently the rich children started to suffer from stealing. They have the possibility to buy anything they like. Their aim was to attract the attention of their parents even the negative one.
The children's stealing is provoked not by the lack of money but by the lack of parent's love as well as friendly and tender attention. The only way out is to communicate more with your child.
But there may be really children kleptomaniacs but as it was already said the probability is very and very low because the majority of kleptomaniacs are women at the age of 30-36. Nevertheless if you still faced such problem the best way out is to turn to professional psychiatrist that could find out the reasons of such behaviour and such disorder in the psyche of the child. But don't panic, it is not the dead disease that provokes social isolation.
