Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Behavioral Science
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Pathological gambling's classification in psychiatric nosology is debated.
  • Two dominant models exist: nonpharmacologic addiction and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing research to determine the most fitting conceptual model for pathological gambling.
  • To inform diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for pathological gambling.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature on pathological gambling.
  • Analysis of research findings across various domains of the disorder.

Main Results:

  • Evidence suggests pathological gambling shares more characteristics with substance abuse disorders.

  • Similarities to obsessive-compulsive disorder are less pronounced, though not mutually exclusive.
  • Data supports a heterogeneous model with subtypes resembling both addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pathological gambling may be best understood as a heterogeneous disorder with features of both addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
    • Further research into conceptualization can enhance treatment efficacy for pathological gambling.
