Impulse control disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. ICD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with ICD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.

A subtype of ADHD is "hyperactive / impulsive". Impulsiveness can be challenging to deal with, and it can be helpful to talk with someone about how to manage those symptoms! While people with ADHD brains may be more wired for following urges with knee-jerk reactivity, impulse control is also a skill that we can work on together.
Sexual addiction is often referred to as a disorder of sexual compulsivity. Despite a person's best efforts to curb or stop sexual behaviours (usually in secrecy) they lack the internal control to refrain. This has been a growing field of addiction, especially with the advent of the internet and ease of access to pornography.
