It varies by a lot. It doesn't help that the research is scarce and seldom consulted on legislation.

I think a lot of people afflicted just never tell anyone. As long as you're otherwise stable and in control of yourself, anyone who has only that one thing wrong about them, could extremely easily take it to the grave. It's by far the best option to live a decent life.

If you don't need someone else to stop you from acting on it, why tell anyone, ever? It can't be cured, so the only "help" available is to teach you self-control, or like you say, in some places, prison. If you're among the 99% of people who already have self-control figured out, why speak up and just complicate your life?
