Pathological Gambling Disorder: An Overview
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Gambling has a long back history and also referred to as ‘Natural evil’. The most well-established finding in literature is conceptualisation of pathological gambling as a behaviour addiction with high rate of alcohol and substance use disorders. It finds its place in The Diagnostic and statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5) and classified in various types as per different authors. The gambling decision is influenced by presence of cues, the activity of dopamine receptors and activation of some brain areas. Treatment of Gambling Disorder (GD) is a challenge. The available options include peer support, brief and motivational interventions, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA). The present overview on pathological gambling disorder tries to represents it as heterogeneous disorder based on cognition, its style of gambling, its proneness to relapse and recovery.
