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.

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.
An impulse control disorder is a condition in which a person has trouble controlling emotions or behaviors. Often, the behaviors violate the rights of others or conflict with societal norms and the law. With the CBT approach some of these behaviors can be managed.
