Everyone acts on impulse sometimes—buying, saying, or doing things you later regret. That’s human.

Impulse-control disorders are different. They’re repeated urges you can’t resist, even when they harm yourself or others.

The pattern is familiar: tension rises, acting brings relief, then guilt or regret follows.

Occasional impulsivity is normal. Repeatedly losing control in ways that damage life or relationships is a signal to seek support.
