Some of the fundamental components of<unk>  include recurring intrusive thoughts, impotence to resist the compulsion to engage in stealing, and the release of internal pressure following the act. These symptoms suggest that<unk>  could be regarded as an obsessive-compulsive type of disorder. People diagnosed with<unk>  often have other types of disorders involving mood, anxiety, eating, impulse control, and drug use. They also have great levels of stress, guilt, and remorse, and privacy issues accompanying the act of stealing. These signs are considered to either cause or intensify general comorbid disorders. The characteristics of the behaviors associated with stealing could result in other problems as well, which include social segregation and substance use. The many types of other disorders frequently occurring along with<unk>  usually make clinical diagnosis uncertain. There is a difference between ordinary theft and<unk> : "ordinary theft (whether planned or impulsive) is deliberate and motivated by the usefulness of the object or its monetary worth," whereas with<unk> , there "is the recurrent failure to resist impulses to steal items even though the items are not needed for personal use or for their monetary value."
