Impulsive Behaviors in Mental Health:
Impulse Control Disorders
are common in children today. There is not a person in the world that
hasn’t acted out impulsively, but when symptoms are reoccurring
and consistent, you had better get help. Judgment plays a role in
impulses and if the judgment is ignored in dangerous situations, someone
could get hurt. Most patients with impulse control behaviors often
act out against their better judgment and in many cases these behaviors
has caused harm to others. The person often does not have the ability
to regard the law, society, him or her self, as well as others since
once the impulse hits the person often acts before thinking.
Often the patient with
feel an intense feeling or stimulated force before acting out on impulse,
and in most cases the patient is unable to disregard the natural instincts
that tell them NO. In this article, we are going to peer into the
minds of those that suffer impulse control disorders, by examining
various diagnoses that include this interruption. Starting with Intermittent
Explosive Disorder, which if untreated is a DEADLY diagnose, simply
because the person illustrates explosive behaviors.
Patients with this
type of disorder often have neurological and brain aberrations, which
often include mental illnesses. Most patients with Intermittent Explosive
Behaviors are highly dangerous and often have linking disorders and
mental illnesses under the surface. For example, after dealing with
a child for 18 years, diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorders,
Impulsive Control Disorder, Antisocial Disorder (Conduct Control Disorder),
Impulsive Control Disorder, Oppositional Defiance, (possible OCD/Schizophrenia)
and finally Psychopathic Tendencies, I can tell you that you may not
have help available. Many people will not deal with this type of individual,
including professional therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and
so forth. In my case, I was told it was hereditary and there was no
help available. It was true. Coming from the mouth of babes, the patient
himself said, “No counselor can help.” However, I found
by illustrating persistence, NO Fear of the patient, useful tactics,
reverse psychology, and other strategies proved valuable.
This type of patient
will abuse others almost to the point of death is some instances,
bash your walls, bust up your windows, terrorize your home, hurt your
animals, start fires and make explosives, engage in pornographic materials
obsessively, laugh for no apparent reason, and walk around most times
with a deranged look on their face. This is only the beginning of
what happens when you deal with this type of diagnose.
Most of the patients
will explode in a rage of anger, destroy your material, and show no
remorse for their actions. The patient may tell you those he blackouts
during these episodes, which may be true in some instances. From experience,
the patient related to me that he had a good side and an evil side
and said this repeatedly, and after looking into one set of the most
devilish eyes imaginable, I am still investigating his words.
The patient is often
triggered by another source, so if you are dealing with this watch
what you say, do and so forth. Learn the patient’s triggers
and avoid them at all cost. I’ve seen this person get upset
for no apparent reason, so it does happen, still avoid hitting his
or her triggers is wise. Impulse Control Disorders also include Pathological
Gambling Obsessions. This type of activity is often uncontrollable
since the person cannot control his or her impulses once addiction
sets in. In most cases, these types have underlying disorders, including
Antisocial Personalities, mood swings, alcohol/drug addictions, depression,
possible OCD and other disorders.
They often resort to
crime because of their disorders. Kleptomaniac often has impulsive
behaviors, and cannot control their actions. Pyromaniacs are another
type of individuals that have difficulty controlling their impulses.
These types take pride in setting fires and watching them burn, and
will sometimes develop a severe case and extend their fire setting
practices beyond the comforts of their homes.
Most Pyromaniacs have
issues with substance abuse, self-esteem, inability to adhere to authority,
and other related symptoms. If you notice someone sitting around the
house, watching a lighter burn and laughing you might want to pay
closer attention to this person. Some pyromaniacs show slight symptoms
while others are more severe. Most mentally ill patients often suffer
sleep disorders, which few have separate diagnosis titled Somatoform.
