Synthetic cathinone-induced impulse control transtorno is characterised by persistently repeated behaviours in which there is recurrent 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 longer-term harm either to the individual or to others (e.g., fire setting or stealing sem apparent motive, repetitive sexual behaviour, aggressive outbursts) that develop during or soon after intoxicação com or abstinência from synthetic cathinones. The intensity or duration of the symptoms is substantially in excess of disturbances of impulse control that are characteristic of Synthetic cathinone intoxicação or Synthetic cathinone abstinência. The amount and duration of synthetic cathinone uso must be capable of producing disturbances of impulse control. The symptoms are not better explained by a primary mental transtorno (e.g., an Impulse control transtorno, a transtorno due to addictive behaviours), as might be the case if the impulse control disturbances preceded the onset of the synthetic cathinone uso, if the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time after cessation of the synthetic cathinone uso or abstinência, or if there is other evidence of a pre-existing primary mental transtorno com impulse control symptoms (e.g., a history of prior episodes not associated com synthetic cathinone uso).
