![]() Social factors implicated in the development of ICD include low socioeconomic status, community violence, lack of structure, neglect, abusive environment, and deviant peer relations. However, this association may manifest as a result of a confounding variable, as parents afflicted with the disorders mentioned above often provide a dysfunctional family environment, thus increasing ICD diathesis. Much is unknown regarding the etiology of impulse control disorder (ICD) however, consensus understanding is that the origin is multifactorial. Genetics may play a pertinent role as children with ODD are often the progeny of parents with mood disorders, whereas those with CD spawn from parents who have schizophrenia, ADHD, substance use disorder, or antisocial personality disorders. Compulsive shopping and internet addiction now fall under 'other specified disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorder,' whereas before they belonged to a category known as disruptive behavior disorder not otherwise specified (DBDNOS). Additionally, DSM 5 now allows for ODD and CD to coexist phenomenologically and offers a severity scale to be used in ODD. Furthermore, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trichotillomania, binge eating disorder, and pathologic gambling disorders were removed and relegated to neurodevelopmental, obsessive-compulsive, feeding, and substance-related and addictive disorders, respectively. Instead, the disorders mentioned above fall under disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders. No longer is there the taxon' impulse-control disorders not elsewhere classified'. Of note, a classification change occurred in the transition from DSM IV to 5. Two residual categories are available for those whose behavior does not meet the diagnostic threshold of the preceding categories. Those falling under the taxon of ICD experience "failure to resist an impulse, temptation, or drive to perform an act that is harmful to the other person or others." ICD, as defined in DSM 5, consists of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), intermittent explosive disorder (IED), conduct disorder (CD), kleptomania, and pyromania. ![]() Disinhibited psychopathology has precipitated the nosologic identification of 'impulse control disorders' (ICD), in DSM 5. Normative behavior encompasses both reactive and stolid patterns however, psychopathology arises in the event of impaired self-regulation, giving rise to disinhibition. This indelible imbroglio between our impulsive nature and self-governing consciousness is at the core of human nature. Freud postulated that socialization was a process by which juveniles appreciated how best to suppress immediately satisfying urges, and instead consider what might be most beneficial for one's future self. One can either eat the cake, or not eat the cake, however, one cannot, both eat the cake and, at the same time, not eat the cake. Self-regulation arises from the existence of a conflict between two mutually exclusive inner psychic agencies, or more descriptively in Freudian terminology, between the impulsive id and the captious superego. Those who can, for example, refrain from rising to an insult are considered to be more accomplished than their impulsive counterparts at implementing self-regulatory behavioral patterns. Moreover, whatever moniker is assigned, all encompass the foundational notion of effortful self-regulation. ![]() Moffitt, for example, uses the sobriquet conscientiousness to express this notion of self-restraint. Self-governance, or self-control, has many monikers. What separates humans from life forms of lower sentience is the evolution of neurocircuitry within the prefrontal cortex that allows one to practice self-governance. Impulsivity is a trait ubiquitous with human nature.
