      Chapter 2: Understanding Impulse Control Disorders

      Definition and Classification of Impulse Control Disorders

      Impulse control disorders are a complex and often misunderstood group of mental health conditions that can severely impact individuals and those around them. This subchapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these disorders, their classification, and the various factors that contribute to their development.
