Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : Gambling disorder (GD) is defined as persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress. GD can cause personal, vocational, legal, and financial problems. However, the gold standard for treating GD has not been established yet. This review summarizes the screening, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment for GD.
Methods : We referred to new and previously published studies and guidelines.
Results : We introduced screening methods such as self-report scales and described DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. We also suggested essential information worthy of considering during the assessment stage. Explanations about treatment included novel options and conventional methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy. Finally, we created an algorithm for treating GD.
Conclusion : This review not only provides a summary for GD treat-ment, but also serves as a reference for designing future studies on GD.
