Introduction

The idea that some peoplemay not be able to control

their stealing impulses emerged in 1838, when Esquirol and Marc

coined the term Kleptomanie. Although there are not many stud-

ies regarding this issue, becoming therefore difficult to establish

epidemiological data, various clinical samples suggest a high preva-

lence of the disorder. As the problem most likely become chronic

when left untreated, the diagnostic approach is very important.

Aims

Literature review and discussion about kleptomania,

regarding a case report.

Methods

Clinical interviews and literature review in PUBMED

database.

Results (case report)

Female patient, 62 years, with history of Per-

sonality Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder, confesses in

psychiatric appointment that she hadbeen caught stealing. She says

that she has this “addiction to steal” since childhood, always steal-

ing cheap stuff, that she does not need, usually giving it away to

other people. She has this behavior as she feels an unexpected and

irresistible impulse to steal, with increasing anxiety, which relieves

when action is consumed. Afterwards she experiences feelings of

shame and guilt. The patient symptoms appear to get worse in

depressive relapses.

Conclusions

Regarding individual, family and social impact of

kleptomania is essential to assess it and to treat it promptly. Most

of the patients are ashamed of their behavior, so they may not self-

report. There are few and controversial data concerning treatment,

but it is widely accepted that co-morbidity with mood disorders or

substance use disorders is common and may interfere with treat-

ment.

Methamphetamine as a risk factor for

myopathy

Introduction

Cardiotoxic effects of methamphetamine have been

proposed in many investigations, but the risk of striated muscles

involvement among methamphetamine abusers is unknown.

Methods

A case-control study has begun in our teaching hospi-

tal to examine the association between methamphetamine abuse

and myopathy. The study population are adult clients who admit

in the electrodiagnostic medicine clinic since January 2015 with

complains of weakness. For each subject with myopathy, 2 con-

trols without myopathy are randomly selected from the same

population. Self-reported history of methamphetamine abuse is

acceptable in both groups.

Results

A total of 56 persons with myopathy and 112 controls

have been identified, of whom 5 (9 percent) and 3 (3 percent) had

history of methamphetamine abuse, respectively. Persons with his-

tory of methamphetamine abuse have about three times greater

chance to develop myopathy (95% CI: 1.5–5.1) as compared with

controls.

Conclusion

There is a misconception among some workers that

some illicit drugs such as psycho stimulants can improve their abil-

ity towork. In contrast, this study demonstrates that due to harmful

effect on themuscles, methamphetamine could diminish the ability

to work in long time.
