535 Impulse control disorders Other specified impulse control disorder Essential (required) features • The presentation is characterized by symptoms that share primary clinical features with other impulse control disorders; that is, persistently repeated behaviours in which there is failure to resist an impulse, drive or urge to perform an act that is rewarding to the person – at least in the short term – despite negative consequences such as longer-term harm either to the individual or to others. • The symptoms do not fulfil the diagnostic requirements for any other disorder in the impulse control disorders grouping. • The symptoms are not characterized by recurrent and habitual actions directed at the integument (e.g. skin and hair), which should be classified under body-focused repetitive behaviour disorders. • The symptoms are not characterized by gambling, gaming or other addictive behaviours. • The symptoms are not better accounted for by another mental disorder (e.g. dementia, a disorder due to addictive behaviours, an obsessive-compulsive or related disorder). • The symptoms or behaviours are not developmentally appropriate or culturally sanctioned. • The symptoms or behaviours are not a manifestation of another medical condition, and are not due to the effects of a substance or medication on the central nervous system (e.g. methamfetamine or dopamine agonists such as pramipexole for Parkinson disease or restless legs syndrome), including substance intoxication and withdrawal effects. • The symptoms result in significant distress or significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.
