The "Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders" chapter in the DSM-5 includes Gambling Disorder as its sole behavioral addiction. For a segment of the population, gambling presents for the gambler and affected individuals a plethora of psychological and social adjustment problems. There is also evidence to suggest high comorbidity of gambling disorder with other psychiatric disorders—including substance use disorders.
However, gambling disorder still remains largely a hidden problem. The goal of this webinar is to train and prepare service providers to better understand gambling disorder and its assessment and treatment. The webinar will also touch on the emerging clinical diagnostic category of internet gaming disorder.
