Causes
The exact cause of Klazomania is unknown. However, it is believed to be related to abnormalities in the brain's neurotransmitter systems. It may also be associated with other psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Treatment
Treatment for Klazomania typically involves a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Psychotherapy can help the person learn to manage their symptoms and cope with the impact of the disorder on their life.
