People with kleptomania usually steal things, which are of no use for them. These people are usually depressed and find it had to tackle with certain situations. Stealing something, though inexpensive and useless to them will give a great zeal and pleasure to them. They do not steal things, but steal happiness, to put it precisely. They cannot control their impulses and urge to steal things; even small things such as toothpicks from restaurants, clothes, inexpensive items from departmental stores, etc. History of kleptomania emerges long back from the eighteenth century, and different scientists described it differently but all conclude to give the same meaning.
Later on, several researches were conducted on kleptomania, and they were released in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. In the first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual the description of kleptomania was not clearly given. However, in the second edition of this manual, which was released in the year 1968, there was nothing discussed about kleptomania. It was totally omitted from the manual.
