The onset of these disorders usually occurs between the ages of 7 and 15.[1] Impulsivity Impulsivity is a type of human behavior characterized by the inclination of an individual to act on impulse rather than thought. Although part of the normal behavior, impulsivity also plays a role in many mental illnesses, the key feature of these disorders, can be thought of as seeking a small, short term gain at the expense of a large, long term loss. Those with the disorder repeatedly demonstrate failure to resist their behavioral impetuosity.

Impulse control disorders are considered to be part of the obsessive-compulsive disorder Obsessive–compulsive disorder is a mental disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by combinations of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). The symptoms of this anxiety disorder range from repetitive hand-washing and extensive hoarding to spectrum.[2]

The essence of emotional self-regulation is the ability to control one's impulses in the service of goal.
