Impulsivity, one of the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; Essentially, it is a person having problems setting limits on their behavior. Impulsive people are impatient to realize their wishes. They act without thinking about the consequences. They do not think about whether it is logical or not, they just want to continue doing the things they enjoy.
Impulsivity may occur as a result of the deficiency of chemicals in the brain, but it may also be caused by family and environmental factors. Not having clearly defined limits during childhood leads to problems such as inability to control emotions and behaviors, lack of skills, and impulsivity in life. Genetic inheritance, family breakup or incompatibility, and emotional deprivation are among the reasons. Impulsivity, which is three times more common in men, can be treated psychologically. First of all, the underlying causes can be controlled with the person's mindset and exercise control skills. Of course, first of all, it should be understood whether there are underlying health problems, drug treatment is recommended, you should first receive psychiatric treatment.
