“Is kleptomania treatable?”
My neighbor has been diagnosed with kleptomania. Can it be treated with medicines and counseling?

Kleptomania is considered to be in the spectrum of impulse control disorder, so in knowing this, medication could definitely help and at the same time psychotherapy would be helpful as well so the patient would be able to explore where the urges are coming from and by knowing this, then it will be easier to address and correct.
Only if your neighbor wants to change.
Sure, almost anything can be treated with therapy and medication
Here it is important that she see a psychologist who can get at the underpinnings of the problem and get her oriented in the right direction.
