Adolescent pathological gambling is a growing concern, affecting 4-8% of teens. This disorder emerges early, with higher prevalence in adolescents than adults, requiring urgent attention.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Adolescent Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Historically, gambling problems were considered exclusive to adults.
  • Emerging research indicates significant adolescent involvement in gambling-related issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the characteristics of pathological gambling in adolescents.
  • To review clinical features, prevalence, psychopathology, and interventions for adolescent gambling disorder.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature review was performed.
  • PubMed database was searched using keywords: pathological gambling, dependence, addiction, and adolescents.
  • Twelve English-language articles published between 1997 and 2014 were included.

Main Results:

  • Problem gambling affects an estimated 4-8% of adolescents, with pathological gambling prevalence 2-4 times higher than in adults.
  • Onset of adolescent pathological gambling occurs early (10-12 years), with rapid escalation from casual to problematic play.
  • Comorbidities are frequent, and no approved pharmacological treatments exist.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent pathological gambling has markedly increased and necessitates prompt clinical and research focus.
  • Further investigation is crucial to enhance understanding and develop effective strategies for this population.
