Is kleptomania a disease or a curse?

[Blazing]

kleptomania is a character flaw or simple criminal behavior. It's the inability to resist the urge to steal items, usually, things of little value or for which the person can afford to pay

Interesting question!! Well from what I know, kleptomania is a serious mental health disorder. I suppose it could also be regarded as poor decision making, especially when caught!

Experts are of the views that it is a mental health disorder that makes one unable to resist urges to steal items that generally don't make sense.

Implying that kleptomaniacs are patients in the same league as diabetics?
Methinks nurturing plays a huge role in making a kleptomaniac.

Kleptomania is a mental health condition where a person feels an overpowering, irresistible urge to steal things though personality matters as well.

But I cant help but wonder how kleptomania is treated.
