A member asked:
Could someone that has a control disorder like kleptomania go to prison?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Arrest and imprisonment can be "complications" of kleptomania. Although the individual with kleptomania may feel compelled to act on their impulse, they know it is wrong/illegal and while the legal system may take the condition into account, they often do not.
