Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)01:27

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...
Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction01:29

Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction

Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It leads to gradual neuronal loss, causing cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of functional independence.Risk Factors and EtiologyThe disease is multifactorial. Age is the strongest risk factor, with prevalence doubling every 5 years after age 65. Genetic factors include mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are associated...
Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption01:22

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Summary

Patient age significantly impacts pathological gambling (PG) outcomes and co-occurring health issues. Understanding these age-related factors is crucial for effective PG treatment planning and intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Patient age is a known moderator for disease progression.
  • The influence of age on pathological gambling (PG) course and outcomes is under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the moderating role of patient age on personality traits and clinical outcomes in pathological gambling.
  • To explore age-related differences in psychopathology among individuals with PG.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 2,309 treatment-seeking patients diagnosed with PG (DSM-IV criteria).
  • Assessed patients using the Diagnostic Questionnaire for Pathological Gambling, South Oaks Gambling Screen, Symptom Checklist, and Temperament and Character Inventory-R.
  • Employed orthogonal polynomial contrasts to analyze age-related trends and interactions with personality traits and psychopathology.

Main Results:

  • Older patients with PG exhibited more comorbid health problems.
  • Age significantly moderated PG problems and general psychopathology, with both linear and quadratic trends observed.
  • Interactions between age and specific personality traits (self-transcendence, reward dependence) influenced PG impairment levels at different ages.

Conclusions:

  • Patient age is a critical factor influencing psychopathological and clinical aspects of pathological gambling.
  • Early intervention for PG is essential for successful treatment planning, considering age-specific needs.
  • Age-related moderators necessitate tailored therapeutic approaches for individuals with PG.
