Impulse Control Disorder

Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs) are a group of mental health conditions characterized by the inability to resist urges or impulses that may be harmful to oneself or others. These behaviors often provide temporary relief or gratification but lead to long-term negative consequences such as guilt, distress, or social and occupational problems.
