Pyromania is an impulse control disorder characterized by a recurrent urge to set fires 🔥. It's more than just accidental fires; it's a deliberate and compulsive act, fueled by intense excitement or tension before and relief or gratification after. Unlike arson, it isn't motivated by financial gain, revenge, or political motives. Pyromania is driven by an irresistible impulse, often accompanied by fascination with fire and its associated equipment. Think of it as an inner fire that can only be quenched by starting one.
