I should stop: recognizing and understanding impulse control obstacles

Jone E.

"How do I stop: Recognize and understand impulse control obstacles" Brief introduction: We have all done behaviors that we know are not good-buy too many lottery tickets, buy expensive items that cannot be afforded, or remember a holiday Bring home towels from the hotel. For most of us, these behaviors are only temporary curiosity; but for many, these impulses are strong. Day after day, they are fighting irresistible impulses that affect their homes and jobs. For the first time, a well-known American expert on impulse control disorders brought this issue to the table. With a wealth of case studies, operational questionnaires to identify these disorders, and valuable information on the latest treatments, "How Do I Stop?" Offers new hope to those who engage in these behaviors and those who care for them.

book review

The first classic work to comprehensively explain impulse control disorders, an authoritative interpretation of well-known American experts, a self-help guide for patients with impulse control disorders!

Many people encounter this problem: men are driven by the desire for gambling, nostalgic night and night in entertainment venues, sinking into deeper and deeper debts ... women can not stop the urge to shop, hide bills in front of her husband, There are countless credit card records on the credit card ... The child was uncontrollably stealing things. Forty years later, Xun was arrested for theft. Every day, people struggle with irresistible impulses that ruin their lives, families and careers. For a long time, they have endured this torture in silence, ashamed to ask for help. Maybe you, or someone you love, is one of them?

People usually classify these issues as moral, but Dr. Jone E. Grant and Dr. SWKIM in the United States point out that this is actually a manifestation of a mental illness, impulse control disorder. The impulse control disorder is not yet recognized by most people, even those who are tortured, but it is not uncommon. Presumably, it affects about 15% of Americans' lives (close to 35 million people). No disease can cause such great frustration and self-hate feeling. Now Dr. Jone E. Grant and Dr. SWKim, experts in impulse control disorders in the United States, provide effective assistance to those suffering from these pains.
