Definition
A rare mental health disorder characterized by multiple episodes of deliberate and purposeful fire-setting, preceded by tension and followed by relief or pleasure. The fire-setting is not done for monetary gain, revenge, or to conceal criminal activity, but rather to satisfy an impulse.
Etymology
From Greek 'pyr' (fire) and 'mania' (madness, compulsion), literally meaning 'fire madness.' The term entered psychiatric literature in the mid-19th century to describe compulsive fire-setting behavior distinct from arson committed for other motives.
Kelly Says
True pyromania is extremely rare, affecting less than 1% of the population, and most fire-setters do not have this disorder - they're usually motivated by revenge, profit, or other factors. People with pyromania are typically fascinated by fire and fire-related equipment, may become firefighters or emergency responders, and experience genuine distress about their compulsive behavior.
