What does impulsivity mean? can he do harm to others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Impulsivity is a term referring to reacting to a situation before thinking it through. These can range from impulse spending, to rushing through a test at school, to react verbally when something is said that one disagrees with. In the most extreme examples, impulsivity can lead to harming others emotionally or physically. Need more detail to anxwer specifically.
