When the obsession leads to sexual arousal, the term kleptophilia is used. Kleptomania is distinguished from shoplifting or ordinary theft, as shoplifters and thieves generally steal for monetary value, or associated gains and usually display intent or premeditation, while people with kleptomania aren't necessarily contemplating the value of the items they steal or even the theft until they are compulsed.
Although a kleptomaniac may steal uncontrollably without realization, judicial courts in the United Kingdom and United States will not accept "kleptomania" as a legal excuse.
Kleptomania has several different treatments. Behavior modification therapy is used for people with 'kleptomania', as well as family therapy. Some medications that are used for people diagnosed with kleptomania are fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, lithium, trazodone and Valproate.
