  • The "urge" to steal things, ideas, merchandise, or data, is called kleptomania. If you steal things, that you don't 'need' or even want, then that is different than shoplifting.
    Shoplifting stuff, because you can't afford it, or to sell for money, is not kleptomania.
    Neither is shoplifting food, to survive.

    Here's a website, from Mayo Clinic, to help you understand your condition:
