Psychoeducation was utilized to enable the patient to better understand the condition in the context of depression, anxiety, past trauma, and addictive behaviors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patients with kleptomania were also found to have high rates of substance abuse and mood disorders. 8 The pathophysiology of kleptomania is unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
