Hysteria
Hysteria, imbecility, cerebral defect, and menopause were advanced as theories to explain these seemingly nonsensical behaviors, and many linked kleptomania to immaturity, given the inclination of young children to take whatever they want. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment
After discharge, psychiatric outpatient treatment was continued. Eight months after her first hospital treatment, patient was readmitted: her depressive symptoms were recurring after she started to shoplift regularly and compulsively. [academic.oup.com]
Treatment modalities used in this case, including the use of the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale as a surrogate marker to gauge response to treatment, will be discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Even though the approaches used in CBT need more research and investigation in kleptomania, success in combining these methods with medication was illustrated over the use of drug treatment as the single method of treatment. [30] Drug treatment [ edit [en.wikipedia.org]

Based on the idea that kleptomania and substance use disorders may share some etiological features, it could be concluded that kleptomania would react optimistically to the same treatments. [en.wikipedia.org]
Epidemiology

Data from epidemiological studies additionally propose that there is an affiliation between kleptomania and substance use disorders along with high rates in a unidirectional manner. [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology
Possible pathophysiological causes are further discussed, leading to the conclusion that other neurotransmitter pathways, above and beyond serotoninergic ones, can play a role in emergence of this rare and unique phenomenon. The Author 2016. [academic.oup.com]
The patients with kleptomania were also found to have high rates of substance abuse and mood disorders. 8 The pathophysiology of kleptomania is unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Prevention There are no current guidelines to prevent kleptomania because the cause is not known. [winchesterhospital.org]
